In reply to OwlBeSatReading. Luckily it is 100% Keira Knightley free :D If you like Anya Taylor-Joy then you'll enjoy this adaptation :)

In reply to OwlBeSatReading. Hang on, this isn’t Keira Knightley is it??! Ignore me! I enjoyed reading your review

Perky and unnecessary is such a fabulous description I generally opt out of anything with Knightley in it, apart from Pirates of the Caribbean, of course!

In reply to FictionFan. You only see him from behind :D Yes it's the same Eleanor, I haven't read The Luminaries however.

I think a naked Knightley would leave me emotionally scarred! Is that the same Eleanor Catton as wrote The Luminaries?

In reply to Reading Tonic. I can't remember if I have seen that one! But it sounds like it would be great with that cast :) I was a little sceptical about the 2020 film but I did enjoy it.

Sounds quirky! Did you like the 2009 BBC mini-series with Romola Garai, Jonny Lee Miller, and Tamsin Greig as Miss Bates?
