Oh boy. <br /><br />I have to say, I remember when all the Moms were reading The Thornbirds when we were kids. Sleeping with a priest is yucky no matter what in my book. I wonder if the fact that this dude is monk is supposed to soften the yuck factor? <br /><br />I often find the use of dramatic irony in the opening tiresome (think Moulin Rouge)---however, I will say that I learned the hard way to break the bad news about Anne Frank to the kids before we start reading. I mean, some of them didn't know SHE'S NOT GOING TO MAKE IT! And now I just flat out tell them. Heh. Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13205737257301534685noreply@blogger.com
