I'll be very happy to see either A Lost Lady or Love in a Cold Climate get picked too! And the film adaptation of My Cousin Rachel is definitely worth a watch.

I also really liked My Cousin Rachel and No Name. I'm terrified of James Joyce and leery of Dostoevsky, but my daughter claims he is wonderful. I should really give him a chance. <br /><br />Good luck with your spin pick!Karen K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13483190930383406559noreply@blogger.com
