Today's question from the Insecure Writer's Support Group is, "Where in the book world would I live?"
Well, that's a mighty fine question. I had to think long and hard about this. I'm going with Corfu, Greece, the setting for My Family and Other Animals by Gerard Durrell (written in 1956). The book is Durrell's memoir of his upbringing there. For those who don't know, Durrell was a British conservationist. He had lots of interesting experiences with the flora and fauna there. I don't think that I'd be particularly fond of the insects he came across, but it sure is pretty! Here's a photo I found:
Where would you like to live?
Durrell books are fabulous. I can imagine myself stepping into those warm waters and swimming for hours. Beautiful choice.

ReplyDeleteOoh. That's gorgeous! I can see why you picked it.
ReplyDeleteI love the color of the water!

ReplyDeleteThank you! You, too!
DeleteThat's gorgeous! And I second your thoughts on the bugs.
ReplyDeleteI lived in Florida for a while. The bugs there were ridiculous. I no like bugs! ;)
DeleteFunnily enough, I just started watching the TV version on Amazon Prime. I guess it was on Masterpiece on PBS before. I'm only about three episodes in, but I can see why you'd pick it. It looks like a beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteHow interesting that the book was made into a TV version. I'll have to someday check that out.
DeleteLovely, and something one can do (still) even in this here and now world :)
ReplyDeletePersonally, I opt for Nova Scotia and being Anne Shirley's class mate.
Novia Scotia would be pretty, too!

DeleteCongratulations to your son!
We definitely need to catch up when you're in town. (I'll probably be married again by then!)
I read this book when I was a kid, and I remember thinking I'd like to live there!
