Henry Sugar was fun. Fast talking and typical Dahl.

I am watching Wilderness right now.. didn’t know it was based on a book.
I read Dear Child.. not sure if I’d want to watch it though.. was really messed up.

I know what you mean about not watching emotionally distressing stories. Thanks for reading Hena!

Love the cover of The 12 Months of Christmas! Still mad I missed After Everything at the theater, but I missed the last one too. Need it to be streaming, but not for more than it would have cost to go to the theater!

I hope you get to watch it Lisa!
