From the 1900's to the 1700's

The Scent of Water was beautifully written as all of Goudge's books but I did not entirely end end... It felt a little incomplete. A slightly annoying feeling to have at the end of a book. Ah well, I still enjoyed it. :)


This week I'll be reading Lorna Doone. I'm kinda excited! :)

Gaskell and Goudge

Last week I finally finished Wives and Daughters. It was a good book but I much prefer Austin to Gaskell. The BBC version of the story was pretty much the exact same as the book. A few things were taken out but nothing of much importance. I prefer the movie to the book because some of the characters were a little more likable. But, all in all it was enjoyable. :)

This week I'll be reading The Scent of Water, by Elizabeth Goudge.
