Guess what suggestion popped into my inbox from Amazon? Drum roll please….from the creators of DOWNTON ABBEY comes Doctor Thorne. Just based on the fact that it comes from the creators of Downton Abbey, you can bet I am going to check it out.
It’s a new series about Dr. Thorne, a physician and money manager for a local millionaire, and his illegitimate {and flat broke} niece. There will be love, scandal, and staunch British appropriateness and commitment to duty. Everything I love, nothing I don’t.
Let me know what you think if you decide to watch it–or if you have already seen it.
Peace out Girl Scouts & have yourself a great weekend,

Saw this a while back. Great anticipation for a new series by the creator of Downton Abbey! Great disappointment to discover it was a short miniseries instead of something that would continue!
Susan says

The book is really good, too. Anthony Trollope wrote a series of books known as the Barchester Chronicles. They don’t have to be read in order…other good ones are Framley Parsonage, The Small House at Allington, and Barchester Towers. For Victorian novels, they are very readable, with great women characters. His writing seems more modern, somehow, than say Dickens, without all of Dickens caricatures and melodrama.
Thanks, Mavis, for all the good suggestions!
