One thing I most appreciate are Pat's thoughts about some of her fellow white villagers, how she's ashamed they could be at war with (and appalled by) fascist Germany but still discriminate against black and Chinese people right in their village.
(Nice point Frances makes too, about how someone can be so quick to think being black makes a person a dangerous "savage," while Hitler's having bombs dropped on civilians across Europe.)
One thing that concerns me most, though, is about Pat. She has a compelling breakthrough at the end of the television show. But in the novel so far, it's almost as if that breakthrough didn't happen--as if her character has been stunted or reversed to keep her stuck in the same dilemma. To me, that area of conflict, and the way Pat continues to take it, has gotten old.
Still, I'm enjoying the reading overall and could say more about different characters, but I'll just go on to Part Three... ( )
