I'm happy to hear that you're find...Kelly,<br /><br />I'm happy to hear that you're finding Tess to be a good read. In fact, if it wasn't for the fact that I hate the Victorians, I'd probably read it based purely on your description. <br /><br />That all does sound very sad, although like you I'm glad it glosses over the rape scenes. I'm left wondering what happened to the guy that rapes her. Is he totally out of the picture? I guess is that time, no one would really make him own up and pay child support, huh? <br /><br />I'd definitely be interested in reading sky descriptions. Amsterdam was full of beautiful writing about music and the composition of music. I marveled over it as I read. It was a short book, but there were long, dazzling passages where he movingly described music and the act of creating music.<br /><br />Lemon Cake---should we write about it or talk about it? <br /><br />JennyJennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13205737257301534685noreply@blogger.com
