Re: Rose
in reply to a message by Bear
Rose CassandraBear, have you read Dodie Smith's I Capture the Castle? Rose and Cassandra Mortmain are the main characters! :D They've also got a brother, Thomas, who's a very peripheral character for most of the novel.The combo sounds nice, but it also amuses me slightly because not only is it both sisters, it's in age order. ;)Array

I'm ashamed to admit that I haven't read it, but I watched the movie. That's what I get for being lazy and not reading the book -- the names of the sisters didn't register as such. :-/

The book is wonderful--I suspect you'd like it. And it helps that everyone has such romantic names. Cassandra, Rose, Topaz, Simon, Neil, Aubrey, Leda, etc. :DThe only problem with having both of the sisters in the name is that Rose Mortmain wasn't the most grounded and thoughtful of characters. :-/Array
