“I think it astonishingly good - complete and sharp an individual” Virginia Woolf

I had always loved the movie and I finally read the book and now I‘m re-watching the movie. They‘re both perfect.

Cuilin @LeahBergen it‘s very good. They change the timeline a little and you‘ll recognize every actor. 9mo

I was out of town this past weekend and (naturally) found a secondhand bookshop. Lo and behold, I found two #PersephoneBooks that look unread and still have their matching bookmarks.

The truly amazing thing is that I own about 75 Persephone books BUT NOT THESE TWO. 😆

jlhammar Wow, what a find! 13mo
AmyG You were meant to find them! 13mo
Tamra Jackpot! 🎰 13mo

LeahBergen @Reggie Thanks, Reggie! My best friend bought a little bag of these for me from an antique shop. 😆 They‘re called “shelf sitters”. I love their slightly creepy cuteness. 😆 13mo
LeahBergen @BarbaraBB I actually didn‘t realize I had so many. 😆😆 13mo
