So this is pretty minor, but is anyone else having a tough time reconciling that Helene and her family are the wealthy, upper class, almost royalty in their country DUE TO THE WAY THEY TALK? Is it because we Americans are so conditioned to associating wealth and privilege with a proper use of the English language?
This is not meant to be critical of the family in any way. It's just hard to wrap my head around this! In fact, I think this makes it fascinating because it pushes me beyond what I know. Happy reading!
