That whole season felt especially raw and authentically honest somehow... I lost interest in Downton in latter series esp when they monked with Anna's story-line. I simply had to exit... they went too far for me. But! I agree on this note!<br /><br />If you love these kinds of situations, you might want to check out "Where Dragonflies Hover" by AnneMarie Brear? I'd like to my review but I always have a hard time doing that lately as blogs w/ captcha settings get the wrong idea when I share links! :( You can find it easily if you use the search box though!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521348297206014365.post-89340564734511650012018-02-22T06:41:59.353-06:002018-02-22T06:41:59.353-06:00Hallo, Hallo again Laura!
I've started to rec...Hallo, Hallo again Laura!<br /><br />I've started to recover from being awoken by a stomach bug whilst setting into your blog and a few others who are participating in the HisFic RC; nothing like reading some inspiring bloggers posts about the stories their reading and sipping peppermint tea to make a girl feel uplifted! :)<br /><br />I truly *loved!* reading this one myself - therefore, when I spied it listed on the January linky, I had to return! lol I never had the chance to visit those on the blog tour or those who were reading it round the time of it's release, so this is a treat! I have appreciated Ms Webb's stories since Josephine but this was my first by Ms Gaynor. (despite having one of hers on my shelf!)<br /><br />I know, isn't that the truth!? Letters are such personal portals of insight into hearts, minds and the interior thoughts we all percolate to ponder but are oft-times only shared between the two who are communicating their lives through postal routes,... reading these kinds of stories is a special treat for me too, being I've been a letter writer for most of my life. It was so very inspiring, as I've fallen away from writing letters regularly and earnestly want to resume.<br /><br />The time slip aspect of the story touched me for how well both time-lines were conceived. You felt so dearly connected emotionally to Tom! <br /><br />So happy you were as charmed by this story as I was myself! Maybe you can visit with me sometime and we can see if any of my thoughts matched yours?!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521348297206014365.post-76836689709929825332018-01-16T13:38:17.048-06:002018-01-16T13:38:17.048-06:00It is similar to Downton Abbey in tone now that I ...It is similar to Downton Abbey in tone now that I think of it - and I LOVE Downton Abbey.
