![]() ![]() ![]() This negative impression of Ines continues through the first third of the book, as she bumbles her way through her first year at Catherine House, on academic probation as she rarely attends classes. Later, during her first class (or, at least, the first one she deigns to attend), she “borrows” a sandwich from a classmate she doesn’t know and proceeds to eat the bulk of it over his protestations. Ines knows she’s not making the best impression: “I’m going to be a really bad roommate,” she tells Baby. It’s not the most illustrious introduction, and the depiction of her lying naked in an empty bathtub, horribly hung over, doesn’t exactly endear her to the reader. When Elisabeth Thomas’s “Catherine House” opens, the main character, Ines, is hogging the bathroom she shares with her roommate, Baby. ![]()
