She’s also reprising her role as Elizabeth I in a sequel. The cinematography looks yummy.
That one I want to see.
Just prior to starting this one, I re-read Brown's Self-Editing for Fiction Writers, Second Edition: How to Edit Yourself Into Print which is a nice do/don't-do text. By page two of Lion, the list of literary sins (according to Brown) was already very long. Adverbs modifying weak verbs, POV that was everywhere and nowhere, telling instead of showing, showing after telling (redundancy), no consistency on interior monologue. But the cover says, "The International Bestseller", the reviews say, "The best there is in the field of historical fiction" and "celebrated as the high priestess of Celtic historical fiction". The lesson is, I think, that good mechanics take a back seat to a sellable story. As Corin says... ~disciss~.
