last night i dreamt i went to manderley again
Netflix adaptation made Rebecca kind of a modern romance. I wasn't so sure about Max's sentiments while reading the novel.
My lover's lover by Maggie O'Farrell has rebequesque vibes.
oooh i love Maggie O'Farrell so will have to check that one out thank you!
yes, netflix totally de-gothic-fied it. Max is pretty elusive, he is hard to pin down, so shadowy!
I didn't love the Netflix adaptation -- I don't tend to like adaptations of my favorite books much in general -- but Kristin Scott Thomas as Mrs Danvers was SO good. Perfect casting that somewhat makes up for the less-perfect.
ooooh yes, how could i forget KST!? perfect casting. she had fun for sure.
I never read many of the classics - Jane Eyre, Rebecca, etc, but you’ve definitely convinced me to pick them up (perfect fall reading!).
All three of the adaptations sound intriguing, but honestly you had me at Hot Priest so I think I’ll start there 😜
yay! i hope you give them a shot and let me know if you're into them. The Hacienda I think you'll enjoy, especially going into spooky season.
