" Lillian’s remark about the bracelet being a chain, the symbol of the family’s bondage to Hank, is rather egregious. Is this just another case of familiarity breeding contempt, or is there something more pernicious at work here?"

I had not before considered that aspect of the bracelet.

I am thinking now that I likely rushed my way through the book last year. I'll make it a point to reread and attempt to stay with the threads.

Thanks!

My goal in this book club is to get people to look beneath the surface to all the things going on at the different levels of the book. For all the problems with Rand’s prose style, this is a wonderful, thickly textured book.
