My next post, bizarrely, about Nell Dunn, asks about VMC adaptions - I'm going to start compiling a list and including them in the blog!verityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825551404394913715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942500966976732451.post-30518127710301545412009-07-30T09:05:40.636+01:002009-07-30T09:05:40.636+01:00I LOVE The Echoing Grove - it was my first Rosamon...I LOVE The Echoing Grove - it was my first Rosamond Lehmann and I was a bit breathless after reading it. I thought it was magnificent. The Ballad and the Source, which I read next, I also thought was brilliant and powerful. I didn't realise The Sea Grape Tree was its sequel...one day I will have to track it down.<br /><br />Have you seen the film of The Echoing Grove? It was filmed as 'The Heart of Me' for some strange reason and stars Helena Bonham Carter as Dinah, the very dishy Paul Bettany as Rickie and the woman who plays Jane Fairfax in the Gwyneth Paltrow version of Emma as Madeleine. It's a brilliant film, very well done. <br /><br />I want to read The Swan in the Evening now. How sad about her daughter.Rachel (Book Snob)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13669640788036671572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942500966976732451.post-61849472950434627172009-07-29T19:06:22.323+01:002009-07-29T19:06:22.323+01:00I have A Sea-Grape Tree (top) but not The Ballad a...I have A Sea-Grape Tree (top) but not The Ballad and the Source yet, which is silly.<br /><br />The Echoing Grove was one of the Viragoes that I restrained myself from buying in the half-price shop today. I can't justify buying anything at the moment that isn't Booker longlisted or Persephone excluding the Pyms and Muriel Spark VMCs that I have preordered!Paperback Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14579608422235511054noreply@blogger.com
