A Tangled Web by L.M. Montgomery

I like this book. Still, it has always been a contender for my least favorite book by my favorite author. And oh, that last line. It did not age well.
Still, on my latest reading of the novel I realized something: this would make a great TV mini-series. Think Downton Abbey style where a large cast of characters have their interweaving stories told. The series format would give the story time to unfold and seeing the characters visually would help distinguish all of them. Many of the descriptions which seem tedious when described would come across beautifully as part of the appearance and behavior of a character. The novel stays with each character briefly enough that not a lot of depth would be lost by the format change.
Elaborate period pieces are popular these days. So pretty please universe? 🙂
