Just discovered your blog as a link with your posting at WU about your latest Arthurian work. (Like the map!)
Re: book–liked the movie better!
Have to say I did not get into the book but I really enjoyed the movie. Wrote about it in a blog entry, linked below. The movie gave some food for thought.
As for prayer, I have always thought that daily life provides so many opportunities for prayerful living, without being in a religious setting.
After the movie, my husband and I collaborated on making a home-made pizza with fresh veg from the market. It was delicious!
When our children were small, each day had so much to be thankful for as our family grew together. Anna, you have a support network that works for your writing, so you are twice blessed! Enjoy!

Marie, I’d kind of written the book off myself, there are a LOT of negative opinions on it out there, a lot of people accusing her of being a raving narcissist etc etc. But I honestly didn’t get that, and I DID really enjoy the book, I had the ‘sad it’s over’ feeling when I finished, which I almost never get with a non fiction book.

Interesting! I never had the urge to read the book.. till reading your thoughts on it. I’ll have to keep it in the positive side of the back of my mind.

Anna,

I haven’t read, or even heard about this book (which isn’t a surprise I guess because I tend to ‘stick’ to my favoured genre, but you have interested me enough to have a look at it because it’s different.

I also like the Prayer for Patience, Exorcist referral. I have those moments and I had to laugh that it’s a rather true comparison – The Exorcist head spinning girl – and trying to control myself when Maelgwn stomps mud through the house, also attempts to help empty his potty, missing toilet, all over toilet..and so on.

Your dad is also quite a character

Good post though; it’s definitely got me thinking.
