I love the classics and plan to alternately share some "CLOSING lines" over the coming months. Comment if you wish, or read for inspiration. Writing styles were different then, or were they really?
I have always planned to read this novel since I love the 1959 movie with James Mason
ReplyDeleteA strange ending, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI remember this film. Great lines.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Thanks for commenting Yvonne!
DeleteWriting styles were different, but it is always surprising how similar they were!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the book was really someone's journal.
