But I needed to respond to this entry to thank you for the review of Casting Off, particulary since it is not the sort of book you would normally choose. I enjoyed researching and writing the novel so much and it is an incredible experience, especially since this is my first novel, to hear that someone enjoyed it even though it was not a natural read Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32972710.post-16893993752565143202009-07-07T19:59:17.498-04:002009-07-07T19:59:17.498-04:00I enjoy reading your thoughts here on the blog.

I had not in any way guessed the contents of her bags, so I was also surprised.<br /><br />Carol, thanks for the info, but I saw the BBC version of "Cranford" before I read the book and loved it! The book is different, but keeps the same tone and characters.<br /><br />And for those of you who think I must read so much, well, I do.
