#HUE AND CRY BY ELIZABETH YATES REVIEW MOVIE#

I did like the story but it was a tad too charming for me, perhaps it wasn't the right read for this sultry summer we're having.

#HUE AND CRY BY ELIZABETH YATES REVIEW MOVIE#

The cover states that a movie is on its way and I can envision a Chocolat sort of whimsy working quite well with this plot. When the print disappears and I'm visualizing the story until the phone rings to snap me out of it.now that is a fabulous reading experience. I wasn't as engaged as I had hoped to be and was annoyingly aware of the print the whole time I was reading. The wealthy Sir William turns out to be less than kind and the women spend many happy hours cooking and baking which had me craving cake a time or two.īut.yes, there's a but, the story was a bit too whimsical and convenient for me.

There are some villagers, like Curtis and Basset who love having a new member of the community to tempt with local folklore about a woolly-pig and their homemade cider. I did feel sorry for his disappointments, proud of his resolution and a little ticked that he didn't appreciate his wife until a near tragedy but Jack didn't quite become the character that I was expecting. What I didn't expect was that this story is rather quite a lot about his building a golf course! The reason he builds his own links is because of racial prejudices at the time, Jews were not welcome at the esteemed clubs. My daydreams usually finds me riding a bike through a Midsomer Murder-type village so I was really looking forward to finding a kindred spirit in Jack. I have to say that she reminded me of my dearly departed mother-in-law in a warped sort of affectionate way. Also, to say that she is a 'glass half-empty' sort of woman would be an understatement, she goes about being sad with ambition. His wife, Sadie, desperately misses her family and the Jewish traditions which she holds dear. Jack Rosenblum flees Nazi Germany in 1937 for England with his wife and small daughter and sets out to become the quintessential Englishman. This turned out to be a different read than I was expecting.
