Great choice! I loved the historical novel ‘Restoration’ too and find that era of British history fascinating. Did you see the film version with Robert Downey Jr. as Merivel? It’s good, but the book was much better.

Now I must read ‘The Crimson Ribbon’ - love the title!

Hurray! Another fan! I have seen the film, which was fun, but obviously doesn’t have the power or complexity of the book. They rarely do! Still a good watch though.

I haven’t seen the film… I’ll let @Katherine Clements weigh in on the comparison between the two. 💗

And "Restoration" goes on my list. Plus I must add "The Crimson Ribbon" because I love connections and miracles between two authors who have never met each other.

"Pilgrim at Tinker Creek" by Annie Dillard! I think I was 23 when I first read it. (Before that, the poems of e.e. cummings!)
