Good news that there's a possible solution for your vision issues. I hope it pans out. Also, thank you for the short thoughts on politics. Seemed appropriate to mention given the subject matter of the book and current events.
Fascinating choices, Victober was my first Booktube event that I particiapted in. Daniel Deronda seems to tick all boxes of the challenges. I'd never heard the term "Boston Marriages" before.
Thank you, Jim! I should have mentioned that Annie Fields (who James knew) was from Boston and the two women spent some of their time there-and that might have been why James chose his title.
Good day, Hannah. So glad to hear that there may be a breakthrough in your eye situation. I absolutely love Daniel Deronda, and your other choices sound interesting. And I need to read some Jewett works. All the best to you during Victober! Cheers! ✌️🌹💥🌻💐🌷🌺
When you feel you can handle a print book, there is an excellent edition of Reuben Sachs edited by Susan David Bernstein (published by Broadview editions, 2006), with a detailed intro and almost 100 pages of Appendix material about Levy's life, critical materials and Jewish life in London at the time. I loved The Country of the Pointed Firs and am intrigued by A Marsh Island--will have to seek it out. Happy Victober!
I have not read much Victorian literature so I am glad to participate in this event to further explore the authors of this Victorian Era. I have decided to read The Warden by Anthony Trollope. Keeping it short as I am joining a book club event which is reading Lonesome Dove. I truly hope your eye issues resolve/improve soon. I am glad you were able to find Reuben Sachs on audio. Take care.
Great video and a really intriguing TBR. I hope you find the London Yiddish theatre because I know nothing about that! I'm also looking forward to hearing about Sarah Orne Jewett. I hope your vision treatment plan works well and that your trip to Maine is delightful. I've accidentally read a bunch of books set in Maine this year. Take care!
@@HannahsBooks I loved The History of Sound, by Ben Shattuck, and also my reread of Elizabeth Strout's Olive Kitteredge books and the Lucy Barton books; the last one, Lucy by the Sea, is set in Maine. Now I'm reading Strout's new book, Tell Me Everything, set in that same town in Maine.
Fingers and all available digits crossed that you have a solution to your vision issue, Hannah. Great video (as usual) and I am also really looking forward to your Framed in September wrap-up.
I cannot stress enough how great your videos are. Glad u found the audio version! Thank u for your short yet important political parenthesis. Have fun to ur trip Mrs Hannah 🫶
@@jorgem71962 I still have not read Silas Marner. I wasn’t expecting to like Adam Bede-but I really loved it. At some point I want to do a reread and pair it with The Scarlet Letter.
I am much intrigued by your plan to read something from the London Yiddish theatre scene. I hope you find something and talk about it. My fingers are firmly crossed that your doctor's plan bears fruit.
I hope you manage to find a copy of the Julia Sun-Joo Lee book. So far I've read the chapters on 'North and South' and 'Jane Eyre'. some of her arguments are stronger than others but it is very interesting.
Very interesting choices! Much as I don’t love George Eliot, I do like Daniel Deronda.
I had forgotten that until you mentioned it in your announcement video! Thank you again for helping to lead this wonderful month!
Fingers crossed Hannah!

Looking forward to the Henry James talk. I Hope so much that you get help with your vision.
@@JamesRuchala Thanks, James. I think the Henry James chat might be in December-and I might read another James novel beforehand. Are you a fan?

Thank you so much, Teal. Are you planning to participate?
@@HannahsBooks I'm not planning to even though Middle March has been on my tbr for a while now. I guess I'm too much of a mood reader?
@@tealorturquoise Yep! I think a lot of folks feel that way!

@@lorrainetaylor9852 Wonderful! I might put it off until December-and perhaps read a third novel before then.
Good day, Hannah. So glad to hear that there may be a breakthrough in your eye situation. I absolutely love Daniel Deronda, and your other choices sound interesting. And I need to read some Jewett works. All the best to you during Victober! Cheers! ✌️🌹💥🌻💐🌷🌺
Thanks, Brady. I’m so glad to hear from other Daniel Deronda fans! I hope you’ll read and love Jewett!

@@marciajohansson769 l hope you enjoy The Warden! I found it quiet and charming!
Such interesting selections, I hope you are enjoying your choices. Sending all best wishes for your eye treatments.
Thank you so much, Sandra.

Ooh-which were your favorite Maine books?

I don’t really love George Eliot either, but I do love Daniel Deronda.
Several people who are not huge Eliot fans do like DD. Interesting!
Enjoy Maine! I am from Maine ❤ it’s beautiful in the fall
@@Molly-s6u It seems like the perfect season for a visit!
❤
Thanks, Elisabeth!
Fingers crossed 🤞🤞🤞 Eager to hear your thoughts on Daniel Deronda 🧡

Thanks, Nina. Are you planning to read something for Victober?
@@HannahsBooks I haven't any plans yet. I am currently traveling and might pick something on the short side once I return.
@@Nina_DP Sounds like a nice idea!

What a kind comment! Thank you!
Hi Hannah, great video. Katie is not alone about George Eliot, I am also not a fan, although I did love Silas Marner.
@@jorgem71962 I still have not read Silas Marner. I wasn’t expecting to like Adam Bede-but I really loved it. At some point I want to do a reread and pair it with The Scarlet Letter.
I read The Last Victorian many years ago also and it is due for a re-read!
I am much intrigued by your plan to read something from the London Yiddish theatre scene. I hope you find something and talk about it. My fingers are firmly crossed that your doctor's plan bears fruit.
If you happen to run across anything, I would love to hear!

Thanks, Clare! I’m so pleased to have a friend reading it! I hope we can compare notes sometime soon.
I always thought that discussions of Jews in the Victorian era would be heavily antisemitic.
Certainly it is in some books. Caricatures of Jews -such as Dickens’s Fagin in Oliver Twist-were definitely common in the period.
