tamzinlittle's review against another edition
4.0
Wow y’all really love a morally grey character until they’re a woman?
I usually let other people have their own opinions of books and get on with my day but there is something that makes me angry about the vibe of the reviews on this book.
Dodo is an interesting and well crafted story with a brilliant cast of characters. It really tests your limits of how much you are willing to root for someone.
How much should someone get away with just because they are a loved figure? Are those criticising her only those who don’t personally like her? And up to what point can we say that she was right in what she did?
Also loved the discussions on boredom, especially on the background of the social expectations of marriage at the time, gender roles etc.
