I'll be interested in hearing how you like W&D--it sounds like you watch the adaptations before the book, and I almost always do the reverse, but it's always interesting to see what the scriptwriter left in, changed, etc.<br /><br />Lauren was awesome--standing ovation for her role as Miss Adelaide the night we went.JaneGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094501834387622997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15714418.post-87873659835311413342009-04-17T15:54:00.000-06:002009-04-17T15:54:00.000-06:00I love hearing from those who've read and enjo...I love hearing from those who've read and enjoyed Gaskell's novels (especially W&D) since that's next on my to do list. I'm ashamed to say that I've loved the adapatation but have yet to read the book!<br />On another note...you got to see Lauren Graham on stage??!!

I can not imagine her ever "only having access to her father's library"... which would have been ridiculous because I don't think that I ever saw her father pick up a book in all the time we were together. Sheesh! What an idiot I was back then! :-)<BR/><BR/>BTW: Loved the film version of Wives and Daughters, never read the book... <BR/><BR/>(it doesn't take much for me to go off on some wild tangent!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15714418.post-24353578150544964102009-03-31T21:34:00.000-06:002009-03-31T21:34:00.000-06:00I love Wives and Daughters!
