Wives and Daughters

If you haven't seen it, you should! It is based off of the book by Elizabeth Gaskell. I've never read the book, but I've heard it is great! Here is a little bit of trivia for you that I learned tonight from the actual readers of this book. (Lis and Sara have read most of the books that we watch the movies of. The rest of us have read some, but mostly just enjoy the movies.) Apparently, Elizabeth Gaskell was writing the book and got to the point that is almost the end of the movie and died. Before she died, however, she had written a letter to someone with an outline of more of the story. So the writers of the movie ad libbed the ending to the movie based on her outline. I guess we will never know if that would have been the true ending she would have chosen.

Almost the whole group. Lis, we missed you last night! Glad you could come tonight to finish the last hour with us!
