"Might Have Been" is kind of what I was trying to say with "Life Not Lived"...just couldn't think of a way to say it clearly.

I can't believe I forgot WHERE THE RED FERN GROWS! Have you read WALK TWO MOONS? That one recently had me bawling, and I'm not sure if it fits any of your categories. I guess I'd add a category -- when you're crying for the loss of what Might Have Been -- the lover not getting the letter at the right time, the mother dying too soon....Sondyhttp://www.sonderbooks.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243923798905252664.post-22922720458845840952010-11-02T15:43:41.216-07:002010-11-02T15:43:41.216-07:00Pets dying will always get me!

And William Maxwell is fabulous.<br /><br />Frl. Irene Palfy--I love cats with personality! Funny. I like pretty much everyone in Wives and Daughters too, but Squire Hamley is my favorite.<br /><br />danya--as I was writing the list I realized it was difficult to separate movies from books in some instances. Some adaptations I've seen so many times that they kind of meld into the book. :)<br /><br />bibliophiliac--I have an old copy of Cranford which says on the cover that it's by "Mrs. Gaskell" --I love that distinction! I've read W&D, N&S and Cranford.

Bless you for thinking of Mrs. Gaskell--although I haven't read Wives and Daughters, I did read Mary Barton and North and South (is that the right title?).bibliophiliachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15495943887513443615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243923798905252664.post-78684728956885808292010-11-02T10:50:05.865-07:002010-11-02T10:50:05.865-07:00I like your categories!

Then I look with teary eyes at my cats and they flash glances to each other saying: "Oh, no - not again. She is going to cuddle us in this despairingly way and making this strange noises! Well, at least we'll get some goddies.." :")<br />Btw. I loved WIVES AND DAUGHTERS in the BBC adaptation - though I like most everyone of it.. ;")Irene Palfyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13271957738785829189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243923798905252664.post-80077972129512631652010-11-02T09:53:03.931-07:002010-11-02T09:53:03.931-07:00I loved They Came Like Swallows.
