Glad to hear you're getting on with Rankin.

I'm also glad to know you solved Mrs. Enthusiast's thumb problem - good work! Michener was certainly a prodigious author. I love this bit about him from FF: Because his books tend to be fairly long, it is sometimes said that "Michener tends to write by the pound." I don't believe I've ever read any Michener, just never found myself in the mood for his "sweeping historical sagas". Maybe I'll amend that someday.

At least Wide Sargasso Sea won't cause any thumb problems for Mrs. E - it's a very slim little book, easily read in less than a day.

Have a great week!

Oh, good! I was hoping I had the wrong book - that one looked execrable. scarletwoman Mar 2015 #6

I think the play was based on the Wicked Witch of the West. I don't know about the movie. CrispyQ Mar 2015 #9

Wide Sargasso Sea is a big blast from the past. I read that probably 30 years ago and remember japple Mar 2015 #10

I had never heard of Wide Sargasso Sea until the movie of the same name came out in 1993. scarletwoman Mar 2015 #12
