All The Tea in China - Orcutt

Status: page 326

The binding of women's feet in China is not news to me, and neither the killing of baby girls. It doesn't come as much of a surprise when Phineas's mother slaps Isabella. The part when he tells her he loves her is very sweet. Both of them are very faithful. Their departure kiss also reminds me of the first time I kissed my boyfriend in front of my parents. My personal intentions would not be the same as Isabella's. I would go with my husband of course, but their story isn't based on love. It's the love that blossoms from their companionship, the sort of relationship that would be common for their time. The story so far has been satisfying, but I'm still waiting for them to have that special story making scene. Except for her heroic act on the ship, I still haven't had that feeling yet. The end is closing near and I hope he returns for her.
