I absolutely love Maggie Smith – I saw her live years ago in Talking Heads and since then I have made a point of watching everything she is in.

I do find that, no matter how much you like an author, there are some books you just done enjoy, no matter how renowned the author is! 🙂

There’s just something about it that keeps me returning to it again and again. And also the film version with Maggie Smith as Betsy Trotwood is wonderful. I definitely wouldn’t want to live in those times, but the characters are so endearing. Meanwhile, I just can’t bring myself to Like Great Expectations and I wasn’t able to get into A Tale of Two Cities, but I want to like them both. This post has inspired me to perhaps try one of his other books.
