And just what is it with this "Hard Grinding" book anyway? One minute it's a period epic a la Bronte sisters, with mentions of mangles and diptheria. Then we had the whole Norris censoring Emily's copy of the book cos there was a part where a wages clerk is robbed and shot! Now, I'm no expert on the genre, but that sounds a little ahead of its time to me!

Well it's obvious really - it's set in modern times but the heroine was reincarnated and keeps having flashbacks to her previous life. Honestly - have any of you people actually read the damn thing ......

Also in last night's episode, bizarrely either Blanche or Lena said Norris was telling them all to shush because he hadn't read the book yet when it's supposed to have been his choice. Granted, it could have been a flippant remark, but seemed inconsistent. |

Jeezy creezy. Does it matter?!
I mean, all the book comments are just to show that the books really lame, so it would make sense that it was historically inaccurate. No? |
