Oh that’s right! Grandfather Mountain, IIRC :) Would sure love to attend a Calling of the Clans there someday .... sigh .....
From your library report it seems the TV watchers are crossing over into the real thing, and I’m glad. Miss G’s writing deserves to be read, not interpreted - no matter how well one may think it’s being interpreted ....
I did watch the first few shows and the best moment for me was the opening scene :) .... the guy they cast as Jamie is SO unappealing and the writing for him was even worse. I think they tried to REALLY make Claire the stronger partner -in line with the Power Girls mentality of today.
Lovely, though, great costumes, and I think Claire was an excellent choice. Jamie always looked annoyed or constipated to me - and the scenes with Claire seemed unnatural, forced... I didn’t want that in my head for my reading.
Well, carry on .... :)
Diana also is publishing #DailyLines from Bees on her Twitter feed every month or so, unlike that useless no-load George RR Martin, who allowed the TeeVee series to lap his writing. Loserman.
I absolutely loved Diana's anecdote about her first Lord John book. :-)
If you haven't read that, I'll post it for you.
