I'm a big fan of ordinary people finding the grit and determination and strength that readers -- and maybe the characters themselves -- didn't think they had.Julie Tollefsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01579825918764925361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-48835413147554593912016-09-16T09:06:59.655-04:002016-09-16T09:06:59.655-04:00Another fascinating pick.

I may be looking on Netflix.<br />Some books written that long ago do show us - as books do - a mirror held up to society, with all the language and attitudes of the time. I'll be interested to see how it plays for us today.Shari Randallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425493627354028820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-83856753876156846182016-09-16T08:18:50.714-04:002016-09-16T08:18:50.714-04:00Fascinating premise, but I agree with Elaine.

I love when ordinary people take extraordinary action. It shows that there is a positive spark and grit to even the most mundane people. And, no one is really mundane. Everyone possesses greatness. But what is the writing like? Stilted language? I often hesitate to read books written in the 40s or earlier. They can be a lot of work.E. B.
