Summary
Analysis
Juliet apologizes to Sidney for complaining about having to travel to promote her book: the teas and luncheons she's attended have been wonderful, and Bath is a glorious town—clean, white, and bright. According to Susan, guests are enjoying themselves at all Juliet's engagements.
Through Juliet's book tour, she's able to connect in person with a number of people she wouldn't otherwise have a chance to meet. Izzy Bickerstaff then becomes a point of contact between Juliet and her readership.
