summer bad news and good news: The French Blue

[movie zombie]

well, the bad news for summer is that i broke my left ankle....again. and as a result i was forced to sit....a lot.

and the great news for summer is that all this meant i was able to pick up The French Blue and read it through with very little stop.

congrats to Richard on a story well told and a book well written. i really appreciated the pictures that were included as well.

i still say this has "movie" written all over it....but i do fear that hollywood would also screw it up. it would make a wonderful period piece.

a good read from history and for the love of gems.

ps i've also posted this over in the Colored Stone area for those of us who have dared to venture into the unknown to explore the difficult and vast territory we lovingly call Colored Stones.

MZ, you poor thing - I hope you're ankle heals quickly!

But, I'm with you. I finished it a couple of months ago and all I could think about was how lovely a period piece this would be.

Is it available in paperback by any chance? Sounds like just the thing to take on vacation!
