I didn't know Du Maurier had written a novel about it. This one seems interesting. Sena Jeter Naslund is a great storyteller! Her novel Ahab's Wife hooked me and now you tell she has one on the F.R.? oh wowthecuecardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08870323589682197091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14124551.post-5329460409316494242017-06-18T13:33:07.231-07:002017-06-18T13:33:07.231-07:00Thanks Jessica.

Yesterday on Goodreads I was reading someone's review of The Glass-Blowers and was reminded of two more: A Place of Greater Safety by Hilary Mantel and City of Darkness, City of Light by Marge Piercy. Have you read either of those? Perhaps it will be a French Revolution summer! I look forward to hearing how you do with Ms Du Maurier!Judy Kruegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11632346091869688862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14124551.post-54823257043184925272017-06-16T05:58:06.854-07:002017-06-16T05:58:06.854-07:00Nice review, Judy!

Quite a reading, which reminds me that I have to finish that trilogy at some point.<br /><br />BTW, I have scheduled this book to read in either August or September, so it's nice to read your perspective on it. I'm also planning to read Rebecca (for the first time) in the next two or three months as well.Carmenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10242364668293349799noreply@blogger.com
