I am loving the parts where you skip in paragraphs to avoid spoilers :) Apparently we both have the same view of it being a great movie like GWTW...that would be amazing! Have a great weekend!<br /><br />Amy- I agree, no Keira Knightly...she already played Duchess of D, that would be funny if she played the Duchess of D's rival too lol.Svea Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08155352839052427783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777060934365906420.post-37578313791880612592010-02-15T12:20:48.891-08:002010-02-15T12:20:48.891-08:00Great review Lucy!!!

As for the love scenes...I can only say that the Duchess of Gordon bore seven children and was in love with two men most of her life...what's a poor girl to do?<br /><br />I'm so thrilled that Jane Maxwell's story is getting some of the attention this extraordinary woman deserved. And as far as the book being made into a film: from your lips to God's ears! That's always been my dream, so thank you! (Who should play Jane? Keira Knightly? Hmmmm.....)<br /><br />Meanwhile, Happy Reading!<br />Ciji WareCiji Warehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17610953842649397005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777060934365906420.post-11790233687886711612010-02-04T16:40:47.079-08:002010-02-04T16:40:47.079-08:00Loved the review!

I can't wait to get her next books that are being reissued. I've already bought two of the original issues. I love Ciji's writing in this one, I hope the others are the same caliber.
