Truly Madly Deeply
$14.98
I rate this movie as 5 stars.This movie was delightful. It had times of sadness and times of joy. It isn't only about a widow trying to cope but also anyone who lost someone dear. Alan Rickman was especially good in this role. He was tender and at the end he made you feel for him. Juliet Stevenson was delightful as the surprised widow. It had subplots but never enough to create a problem while watching. This movie is well worth watching and I will treasureit.

'Truly' is one of the hard-to-find Mary Balogh romances but it's really worth getting hold of it if you can! It's one of her books set in the Welsh valleys, reminiscent in some ways of her other Welsh-set book, 'Longing'. Mary Balogh herself grew up in Wales and her love of the Welsh people, scenery and especially their singing comes through in this book, as with 'Longing'.

Geraint Penderyn, the Earl of Wyvern, spent his first twelve years as an poor and outcast boy, his mother having been driven out of the village because she was bearing an illegitimate child. However, when it became clear that Geraint was actually legitimate, that his father had married his mother - a viscount marrying a girl from the valleys - Geraint's life was changed utterly as he was taken away to learn how to be the new Earl. He returned once, at age 18, for the funeral of his mother - and there made an error with his childhood sweetheart that turned her against him.

Now, ten years on, Geraint is returning to Tegfan, his house in Wales. He expects a reasonably friendly welcome from those among whom he grew up, but finds the opposite. As landlord he has been harsh and the people don't see him as one of them any longer. Marged, his youthful love, is bitter and full of hatred because she believes Geraint bears some responsibility for the death of her husband. How can Geraint find a place in Tegfan.

When a mysterious masked figure starts working with the locals to disrupt the turnpikes and to try to help the poor of the valleys, Marged is attracted to him. But the man who disguises himself as 'Rebecca' has secrets which he won't share with her. But can Marged overcome her confusion as she has feelings for two different men and can the Earl find a place in the valley as well as keeping his people safe?

Mary Balogh is a wonderful writer of this sort of book, a romance with depth and with an excellent and interesting setting. This was an enjoyable read from the first page, there were moments of emotion when reading it, the cast of characters is well drawn with some very different people, and the underlying feeling of a man coming home and yet not really fitting in was well described. This is a book that may be hard to find but it certainly rewards those who have the chance to read it.

I agree, overall, this record is definitely better than "Fast Stories...", but I feel that "Leslie's Coughing Up Blood" is still their best song. The funny thing, though, is that the songs are out of order on here. There ARE 11 tracks on this record, but "Intro/Public Access Girls" should be the first track, with the rest to follow and Amazon should have track 11 listed as "Queen Blip City". I dunno...Weird. Great record though!
