Agree about the BBC P&P...just going to be superior to everything.
Last week, I watched quite a few 2023 films. If you haven't seen American Fiction or Anatomy of a Fall, I think you might enjoy them. Both feature writers and great acting.
Great review! I love BBC’s Pride and Prejudice - no other adaptation comes close. I’ve always wanted to try House of Mirth, it’s on my list. I also enjoyed The Last Confessions of Sylvia P - it definitely reminded me of The Hours in its look at three female voices throughout the ages. Thank you for sharing :)
I know! It's so iconic; I loved re-watching it. I think you would enjoy House of Mirth, it shares a lot with The Awakening, I think. Thank you for reading and commenting 🙂
How do you fit it all in?! Thanks for your newsletters, Kate. I haven’t been posting as I’m busy writing plays currently, but I look forward to your newsletter every Sunday!
Aw, thanks Samuel! That's very nice to say 😀 I thought you had been quiet of late, but the day job has to come first 😉
As for fitting it all in...I read far less actual books and spend less time writing than I'd like, and far too much time reading online/watching old TV series'/listening to podcasts...

Ooh, I haven't seen them but heard of Anatomy of a Fall. Thanks for the tip! :)

I thought so too 😀
