I always have to laugh when I see Geraldine McEwan because she plays such a nice old lady as Miss Marple and here she is absolutely the opposite.Marianne https://www.blogger.com/profile/11810275740213848634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1500590946775347522.post-73444317144111760052021-12-03T14:32:24.379+11:002021-12-03T14:32:24.379+11:00Thanks Marianne.

It was a pleasure to read one of my favourite authors with the group.Sue Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11424012386814108555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1500590946775347522.post-47692311459536541152021-04-06T21:39:15.299+10:002021-04-06T21:39:15.299+10:00What a great description. I read Barchester Towers...What a great description. I read <a href="https://momobookblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/trollope-anthony-barchester-chronicles.html" rel="nofollow">Barchester Towers</a> with my first book club more than twenty years ago. However, I chose to read "The Warden" first and that was a good decision.<br /><br />Anyway, I carried on and read all the Barchester novels, yes, all six of them. Enjoyed every one of them. And I even love the tv series of the two first novels (I usually don't like it that much to watch a film or a tv series of a book I read), such a great cast. Alan Rickman as a young priest, hilarious!<br /><br />Thanks for this review, very interesting.Marianne https://www.blogger.com/profile/11810275740213848634noreply@blogger.com
