The heroine is an actress/singer, and there are some entertaining views of the contemporary theatre (such as Macbeth done as a musical).<BR/><BR/>Either Laine decided that Caroline (in TRH) wasn't the right woman for the hero, or she thought a new heroine would be better for the series. I think TMV is the better book. It has a rather open-ended finish which seems set up for a sequel, but that never happened, sadly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955239.post-1143591203342723912006-03-29T01:13:00.000+01:002006-03-29T01:13:00.000+01:00Hi Fenella,Reay started out as a non-fiction write...Hi Fenella,<BR/>Reay started out as a non-fiction writer. Looking at the catalog, she wrote four historical works (on topics like food in history, and the French Revolution) in the late 60s and early 70s. Plus a few others later on. Her historical novels, the ones I've read, are not in the Regency style at all, so I'm curious to read the Laine. This is interesting, since I hadn't known of her pseudonym before this.Sarah Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13340312953393474963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955239.post-1143553985462008912006-03-28T14:53:00.000+01:002006-03-28T14:53:00.000+01:00Sarah, thank you- I've heard of Reay Tannahill but...Sarah, thank you- I've heard of Reay Tannahill but can't remember reading anything of hers. It says inside the book that Annabel is a non-fiction writer. I thought Reay was a fiction writer, but maybe I'm wrong.<BR/>FenellaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955239.post-1143503528586572292006-03-28T00:52:00.000+01:002006-03-28T00:52:00.000+01:00According to the US Library of Congress copyright ...According to the US Library of Congress copyright file, Annabel Laine is Reay Tannahill. Who of course is a novelist under her own name as well. If the Laine novel was from 1978, it may be the first one she ever wrote.Sarah Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13340312953393474963noreply@blogger.com
