it was amazing

Retiro o que disse, é muito melhor que satc porque as personagens femininas têm muito mais noção da realidade e das suas limitações sociais. Achei fascinante a dating scene e as interações manterem-se praticamente inalteradas desde 1924. As principais diferenças é que no livro os homens dizem às mulheres que as consideram objetos decorativos (hoje em dia não o dizem), a atitude passiva com que as personagens femininas aceitam/toleram a violência e monólogos dos homens. uma espécie de great gatsby mas no female gaze da época.

Quotes Ana Liked

Ursula Parrott
“I felt cold and dry, like a Martini.”
Ursula Parrott, Ex-Wife

Ursula Parrott
“Yes, another Great Romance would be the death of me. One gets the same feeling, or near enough, on four Manhattans if they’re good; and that failing, one can see what five will do. The hangover from Manhattan’s shorter’n that from Romances. . . .”
Ursula Parrott, Ex-Wife

“All I want is peace. I feel as old as Time, no matter how perennial Iook.”
Ursula Parrott, Ex-Wife
