“p . s . jerusalem” is a deeply personal film about a jewish mother trying to make a home with her family in a place that’s easy to fall in love with , but can be difficult to live in .
a short film in limited release shown only in the studio ghibli museum in mitaka , japan .
on the way back home from lake louise . . . and yes we found the sunshine ! congrats
throughout the film , the stress builds . elon says jerusalem life nearly tore her family apart . but she hopes the film conveys a larger story than the one about her own family .
for all its honesty , “home” has only the most tentative narrative coherence . it’s a collection of beautifully acted fragments that leave you longing for a story to connect them . the pretty but rather shallow poetry doesn’t begin to do the job .
“looking’s” most noteworthy assets included making great use of san francisco as a fundamental “character” in the drama and striving for an accurate depiction of contemporary gay men . lannan and director andrew haigh didn’t want “looking” to be another coming - out series .

looking : the movie : 10 p . m . saturday , july 23 , on hbo .
as a film , “looking : the movie” is really just a long episode of the series . it isn’t very well structured , is all talk and little drama , and bogs down halfway through because of the same insularity that made the second season pretty much a big shrug .
this film is not currently playing on mubi but 30 other great films are . see what’s now showing
a running theme of the film is inga’s dream of home as an eternal place to which you can return for comfort and roots . while driving around with indigo one afternoon — the movie was filmed in a pastoral paradise , the beautiful rolling countryside of lancaster county , pa . — she comes upon a house for sale that resembles her childhood home and is taken on a tour of its rooms by its owner , peggy ( marian seldes ) . a dignified , spectral presence who exudes an engulfing gentleness , ms . seldes’s character suggests a living ghost from the past . and while moving from room to room , inga has flashbacks to her childhood .
it was good of hbo ( probably good pr , really ) to allow the show’s creators to make “looking : the movie , ” but it says something that the airing is all but buried late saturday night , july 23 , when a good portion of the target audience may be out and too busy living the story line of the film to stay home and watch it .
a turning point in the film comes when philip describes walking in the street with his toddler , amos , and seeing an arab boy come up to the toddler and slap him for no apparent reason .
hi bakari , useful information . i was planning for a short video play . . naveen
to raise funds to help us take this production to the edinburgh fringe to raise awareness of nazanin ' s story and help bring her home .
these tips really help me out when i was filming viral videos for my project . since it makes my works look so professional , even though i just film some extra shots .
looking for mummy : nazanin ' s story is a theatre piece based on the real life events that occured last april , 2016 to nazanin ratcliffe , after her baby daughter and her were detained in iran .
the 90 - minute film okd by hbo to tie up loose ends left after “looking” was canceled at the end of its second season does what it is intended to do . it also stands as a reminder of what was good about the series and what didn’t work .
“he was the only member of our family besides me who was actually born here , ” elon explains in the film .
they first met burt rutan in 2004 when they were asked to produce , write and direct black sky : the race for space and black sky : winning the x - prize for vulcan productions and discovery channel . they continued to shoot with burt over the years and started to film him specifically for this documentary in 2012 .
“ p . s . jerusalem ” is showing in new york this weekend at the human rights watch film festival and elon says there are plans for more showings around the us this summer .
near the end of the film jeff is seen putting a blanket around his mother to comfort her and in the very next shot she is not wearing it .

patrick has a line early on in the film as he is having a beer with dom and agustin . he lifts his bottle to toast the three of them : “to all of us , for finally finding something close to adulthood . ” the line is meant as prophecy for a happily - ever - after ending , but given patrick’s history , we aren’t so sure .
“home , ” which ms . haverstick wrote , directed , edited and co - produced , is an extremely personal film that has the tone and structure of a diary . set in 1969 , it incorporates short passages of poetry , recited by ms . harden in voice - over , that were written by ms . haverstick’s mother , mary stuart haverstick , who seems to be the model for inga .

if they can give treme four seasons - - a show that no one watched or gave any awards to - - they can certainly give a couple more seasons to looking , one of the best shows on television .
that question could just as easily work as preface for this episode . . .
thanks for these reviews . manuel . they have been absolutely wonderful to read !
for those who want to savour life and slow down to see it .
this film is about a mother and her two adult sons , who experience varying degrees of interpersonal problems . the first half of the film portrays a socially awkward jeff , with his newfound infatuation with anything to do with kevin . it looks like a pothead comedy , which i do not usually enjoy . the mood of the second half changes dramatically , as the characters get emotionally complex . their emotional wounds get explored , and the film becomes touching and engaging . the ending is well built and climactic , and i find myself very touched by the heroic events . how each family member found emotional attachment is beautiful to say the least . though
jeff , who lives at home
may be a little boring at first , it is worth watching as the last twenty minutes are excellent .

created by michael lannan , “looking” focuses on the lives of three gay friends living in modern - day san francisco . patrick murray ( jonathan groff ) is the 29 - year - old center of the story , playing a game developer who is looking for mr . right , not to mention his own path in life . dom ( murray bartlett ) is also looking for his own path in life , but the search has become a little more intense because he’s turned 40 and wonders what he’s accomplished in his life . and agustin ( frankie j . alvarez ) is patrick’s best friend , an artist’s assistant and having just as much trouble as patrick trying to navigate romance .
elon turns the camera on her own family . at first , she thought of making the film about her father , the famous israeli journalist amos elon .
anyway , i hope to keep reading your blog , thanks for putting together your content list . and have a good day !
it’s taken me a long time to build up the courage to write this post . the reasons for this will . . .
patrick made a mess of both relationships . he thought he was opening himself up to romantic possibilities , but , in a way , he was looking at love as if it were a video game , and only the right combination of moves would get him to the next level .

let you emulate this effect on android . try using it at a time where you can use all ( or most ) of the above rules . timelapses work brilliantly if you can steadily position your camera for a prolonged time over an area that’s constantly changing – for example , on the top of a bridge to capture a sunset or star trails .
“you think you’re my mother , ” shouts inga ( marcia gay harden ) , an unhappily married survivor of breast cancer , to her 8 - year - old daughter , indigo ( eulala scheel ) , in the most indelible scene in mary haverstick’s film “home . ” “ i hate my life ! ” inga drunkenly yells , over and over . “and i hate you ! ”
honesty , of course , was the operative word in this episode as patrick’s moving in day slowly turned into a nightmarish bickering match where he’s forced to look , not for home as the title of the episode suggests , but to look inward during this nightmarish fairy tale set in a modern castle filled with enough trickster homos and magic potions that worked overtime to upend our hero’s seeming happy ending .

it’s important to hold your device with both hands while recording video . use a tripod or place your camera on a stable surface for best results if you can . another thing to keep in mind is to constantly look at your phone to ensure that your recording is smooth . avoid any temptation of looking at the scene you’re filming . some camera apps let you tap the screen to focus on the subject you want to record .
i have enjoyed ( mostly ) reading these , so thank you manuel for your effort . i hope it continues .

that said , standing back from the two seasons and the wrap - up film , “looking” will be remembered as an important step forward in lgbt - themed television . lannan set out to tell real stories of real gay men who are unapologetically sexual . as much as television in general tiptoes closer to being more inclusive of lgbt characters , there’s still a lot of “wink wink” deflection going on when it comes to sex . in that regard , we really haven’t moved that far from “will & grace . ”

the only thing worse than watching a video recorded in portrait mode is watching a video taken at a wrong angle . adding a grid lets you use your background as a point of reference to ensure that your recording is always straight . some devices don’t have this option . on the ones that do , it’s a setting you may need to enable within your camera app .
through two seasons , we followed the three men through romantic and career ups and downs , with a heavier focus on patrick , who tumbled into a thing with his british boss , kevin ( russell tovey ) , who was already in a long - term relationship . in some ways , kevin seemed perfect for patrick — they were both in the same business and both young white men from privileged backgrounds . but patrick also became involved with barber richie ( raúl castillo ) , who came from a far different world and didn’t fit patrick’s rigid idea for a life mate .

props to tovey and groff ( and the show’s d . p . xavier grobet ) for making this scene so visually and dramatically interesting ; it was like watching a gay sorkin walk - and - talk where i half - hoped someone would scream “like you but sweeter ! ” ( sorry , julia’s on my mind ) . the fight , like the best looking scenes this season ( the prep convo at the halloween party , for example ) was effective in the ways it interlaced character - specific details ( nut butters ) with broader cultural conversations ( open relationships ) .
inga’s attack on indigo is atypical of a character who spends much of the rest of the time somberly reflecting on life , death and the meaning of home and family . when sober , she is a wise and affectionate mother . repeated scenes of inga and indigo lying on a blanket in a field under the summer sky convey an ecstatic parent - child bond . ( ms . scheel is ms . harden’s real - life daughter . ) they are so close that early in the movie indigo persuades her mother , whose cancer is in remission , to bare the scar from her mastectomy .

basically a reveal of kevin as the big bad of the season ? pardon me for borrowing whedonspeak but kevin’s seemingly reasonable arguments against monogamy ( “have you ever wondered why that is so important to you ? ” ) presented in decidedly emotionally manipulative ways ( “well , your own mother doesn’t believe in monogamy so…” ) begun to take darker undertones once you factor in the ways he’d been aligned with the gays white shut partiers downstairs . in many ways , he was the one pushing patrick further and further away from his friends and the more diverse world of san francisco the show was so lovingly portraying even as he clearly belongs more squarely in the world patrick grew up in . there’s a fascinating argument to be made about the fact that patrick and kevin’s relationship takes place in these closed quarters while the world of richie , agustin , dom , eddie and doris flourishes in the outdoors , in the streets and in the parks all over san francisco .
even though i ' m not a huge fan of
looking
for several reasons ( though i don ' t hate it , per se ) i really hope it gets a third season to end on its own terms and wrap up the various storylines . i hope it leads to more shows like it . . . or rather more open - mindedness when it comes to green - lighting shows and what kinds of characters we tell stories about , etc . one of the good things about
looking
( and , despite my reservations , there are many things about it that i like ) is that it doesn ' t remind me of many other shows on television and it feels specifically rendered . more of this , please , hbo .

“looking : the movie” begins with patrick’s return to san francisco from his current home in denver to attend a wedding . his friends have moved on with their lives , but it takes patrick coming back to realize that he hasn’t : all he’s done is change zip codes . at the same time , the move to denver has given him time to take proper stock of his life and especially his failed relationships with richie and kevin . the question is whether he’ll be able to take control of his life or whether just being back in san francisco and hanging out at the stud and other familiar haunts will pull him right back into his old mind - set .

you’ve probably heard the saying “the best camera is the one that’s with you” . in today’s world , the same can be said for video cameras .

thanks , anthony , for your feedback . yep , though the technology has changed , the basics of video shooting are still pretty much the same .
rob , you and i both . dom ' s endlessly crushable ; it does seem like the show lost interest in him after lynn and i ' d definitely ask for more of him should we see a third season .
rutan’s designs are grounded in simplicity as well as science , in the delight of actually making things and the challenge of seemingly unsolvable problems . each project that he takes on starts as a dream of something that he has yet to see in the world . not everything he has done has been a total success , but what’s remarkable is his willingness if not drive to keep trying new ways of looking at things .

lighting plays a bigger role in videography than photography because it’s easy to edit , brighten , or apply a filter and get away with dark photo , but doing the same to a video can destroy its quality . as a general rule of thumb , make sure that your subject is illuminated by a bright source of light that’s ideally behind you . use your smartphone’s flashlight only as an absolute last resort .
and so we bid goodbye to these boys . we began the season in the woods and ended it in a concrete building ; we went from diverse queer outlaws to cookie - cutter gays and great props for the show for making that juxtaposition ( or development ? ) necessarily a troubling one . must we begin flooding hbo with escapularios ( or juicy chicken ? ) to convince them this quietly briliant series deserves another season ? will you be satisfied if this is the last we see of patrick & co ?

this is a great write - up . . . and i hope you ' ll have the occasion to write more if / when the show gets renewed ! i was bearish about looking until a couple of episodes into this second season , which was just wonderful . someone around here predicted that the final scene would involve patrick and ritchie , and while that came to pass , i thought the scene was rich in silence and ambiguity . what , exactly , is going through patrick ' s head ?

this is really a nice information . . specially about planning . . i never thought about that
burt’s story has the power to inspire a new generation of creative inventors , designers and technologists .
nazanin spent 9 months in solitary confinement , was missing for her daughters 2nd birthday and was then sentenced to 5 years in a closed court , with the charges remaining secret . the un have defined her treatment as torture and the iranian revoltionary gurad have admitted to holding both mother and daughter hostage .
such moments of psychological brutality are all too commonplace in the real world , when adults , surrendering to despair and self - pity , turn their children into convenient targets . but i’ve never heard a mother direct her bitterness at a young child with such piercing cruelty in a movie . and ms . harden , a great actress who never shies away from truthfulness , doesn’t soften inga’s alcoholic viciousness .
henry , i think f put it quite well and i have very little to add ; much like patrick himself , the show ' s imagined audience is precisely one which doesn ' t particularly enjoy looking in its own mirror ( mostly because of vanity but because we always wish we were represented as we hope we are and not as we might be ) .
) are superb . all you need to do is select the media files you want , select one of the free background tracks , and add a theme . both apps then stitch your videos together to create a montage , saving you valuable time and making you look like a pro in the process .
. apart from letting you remove unwanted parts from your video clips , these tools let you merge multiple clips and photos , add a soundtrack , video filters , and create a mini - movie worth sharing .

i don ' t think it would be a good series finale at all , in terms of plot and characters , so i hope there ' s one more season . just to wrap everything up a bit more .
the best way to record videos is wide angle . in short , this means that you should position yourself a few feet away from the action so that you can capture everything without having to move your camera . sometimes , when shooting things like a birthday celebration it can be a good idea to try and position yourself at a safe height away from what you’re recording while pointing your camera downwards to capture all the action from above .

instead , “looking” was about men who had already been through the coming - out process and now struggle with decisions about careers , romance , settling down and accepting that they were not only growing up , but growing older . in other words , patrick , dom and agustin were dealing with the same issues many men and women , regardless of sexuality , would be dealing with at the their respective ages .
as mobile phones have gotten bigger , portrait seems like the logical ( and comfortable ) way to record video . while that’s fine to view on a mobile device , keep in mind that videos are best viewed on a big screen , like a pc or tv . portrait mode does not do justice to those screens because you’re wasting valuable real estate . so even if you have to record something in a hurry , get into the habit of recording in landscape mode .

manuel here , back from a week away to chat up last night’s season’s ( series ? ) finale . thank you nathaniel for filling in , though i’m sorry you had the unlucky job of recapping my least favorite episode so far ! we’re clearly of one mind of the way the show hit a low - point mostly by telegraphing rather than embodying its own story beats . thankfully , the season finale worked wonderfully as an introspective examination of the fraught ride to successful gay intimacy .
when andrei asks why anyone would burn olive trees , philip explains that it’s a way of driving people off their land .
patrick says he’s looked in the mirror and only found his hair lacking ( “i look like a middle - aged lesbian” ) , but it wouldn’t be stretch to say he didn’t really enjoy the young man looking staring right at him . patrick’s family’s moral compass may have been broken ( and somehow liberated him in the process ? ) but that doesn’t make kevin’s accusations of his willful denial about the relationship he intruded in , the affair he embroiled himself in , and the life he’s about to build in this new field of dreams / peanut - butter loving apartment any less damning .

but even though it seems easy , taking videos is a skill that’s difficult to get right . the main problem is that we often aim for movie - level production quality on devices that – while good – have their limitations . so whether it’s recording videos to publish online or simply to capture memories you want to share , these 10 simple tips will help you take and create better videos .
this may seem like an obvious rule , but it’s easy to forget . while front cameras have gotten more reliable for facetime and video calls , they’ve not yet reached the point where you can get decent , consistent video quality . unless you’re recording a short ( snapchat / whatsapp ) video of yourself to share , always use the main camera at the back of your device to record videos .
as mobile phone cameras have gotten progressively better , they’ve become reliable tools for recording videos on the go . most new devices record in 4k or full hd , and with increasing phone storage space , it’s easier than ever to shoot , save , and share videos .
well - put , f . i had / have criticisms of the show as well but overall i enjoy it . people will complain about everything - just yesterday a lesbian pal was complaining on fb about the lack of lesbians on the show and i thought ,
well i never complained about the lack of gay men on the l word .
i thought this last episode was riveting . if it is renewed for a third season i will be happy to watch . maybe the creators will forge on ahead and introduce more women , etc . - even as minor , recurring characters . it would give the show more flavor , depth , nuance , gravitas . also . more dom , please , i think he ' s a really interesting character . i have a little dom crush .

i would also suggest a wide angle lens adapter . the sony cameras i ' m familiar with , at the most wide angle , are at about 35mm focal length if they were 35 mm cameras . barely qualifying as wa , and sometimes worthless in interior shots . one really needs to get to a 28mm focal length to be effective . or , 35mm equivalent x a . 7 wa adapter , and you are at 24 . 5 mm equivalent . thousands of times more useful in the real world than 400x or whatever digital zoom .

working with hopkins took anderson out of his comfort zone , and the results were all the richer for it . from scotland with love demanded a similarly bold approach . another collaboration , this time with director virginia heath , the album was conceived for a poetic film about scotland , timed to coincide with the commonwealth games , using archive documentary footage from the early twentieth century . the music is far from incidental . in a film without narration or interviews , the songs dictated many of heath’s visual choices and are tasked with much of the heavy lifting .

kenny anderson ' s latest long player has the unenviable task of following 2011 ' s masterpiece , diamond mine . this is unfair . not least because the latter album drew from over 20 years worth of king creosote material , but also because it enlisted the help of knob twiddler par excellence , john hopkins . so it was with bated breath yet with diluted expectations that i approached from scotland with love . if there is such a thing as a difficult 42nd album - this was bound to be it .
composer jennifer margaret barker and trio vocali3e have set four robert burns love poems to music , using unusual compositional effects to take us on a haunting journey through a woman ' s experience of life and love .
and yet . from scotland with love opens with a sublime , abstract eulogy ( ' something to believe in ' ) , which echoes diamond mine , and the new album ' s stunning arrangements ( in cahoots with music designer david mcauley , producer paul savage and the leg ' s pete harvey ) are similarly magical – as are the film ' s visual and musical narratives , thanks to the symbiotic collaboration between anderson and heath . and although from scotland with love largely features brand new material , the album , like diamond mine , goes back in time ; excavates the king creosote songbook ; breathes new life into forgotten songs ( ' one floor down ' was part - written in 1988 ; ' something to believe in ' was originally 2001 ' s ' a prairie tale ' ) .
the programme opens with the cheery postcard - style title scrawled on screen : from scotland with love but , despite the chirpy title , it never dips into sentimentality . if you do feel your bottom lip begin to tremble at the sight of ruddy - faced weans floating paper boats , the image might shift to a young girl whose thin legs are encased in steel callipers and you ' re swiftly reminded that this is no celebration of the twee . this is a scotland where paper boats existed alongside polio .

“we are probably how love fist would be now , playing round the dregs of the pubs and clubs . ”
from scotland with love is the new album to be released by kenny anderson , known to most as king creosote , under domino records , coming out on the same day as the single , 21 st july . commissioned for the commonwealth games 2014 this album was meant to reflect the less obvious side of scotland to the tourists . on the nib of a complete turnaround with an independence referendum taking place in a couple of months time also , this album will be an interesting sell on a presently topical nation .
something for scots and the lovers of scotland ( like us ) to appreciate . images of people working and enjoying themselves from the archives which always proved interesting . good soundtrack from king creosote ( but a different mix to the cd ) . it might benefit from sub - titles for the songs to assist the hard of hearing . we will be watching this again from time to time as there is plenty of detail here !

two short , atmospheric instrumentals – “crystal 8s” and “ a prairie tale ” – may stray into more obviously cinematic territory , but from scotland with love is an impressively unified , self - standing piece of work . with the themes of love , loss , war , emigration , work and play worn lightly , the project’s cinematic roots are revealed in other ways , the most obvious being that the warm , melancholic roll of anderson’s music unfolds on a larger scale , as though to fit the dimensions of the cinema screen .

a few myths to kiss - off before we begin : from scotland with love is not the follow - up to diamond mine , king creosote ' s 2011 mercury - nominated collaboration with jon hopkins . kc has released at least two long - players ( sure and steadfast ; 3 on this island ) , one collaborative album ( experimental batch # 26 ) , a 10 - inch ( analogue catalogue ) and a seven - inch ep ( jokes ) since its release , and he has several more lps in the bag . ( rumours of his lp back - catalogue numbering 60 fall short of the mark . ) nor is this the spiritual sequel to diamond mine . the former was a meticulous seven - plus year endeavour ; from scotland with love , by contrast , was written and recorded in a matter of weeks , in the autumn of 2013 .

i really love katie fforde , she’s one of my favourite chick lit authors of all time . she just writes the loveliest books and i love her romances . last year katie released a christmas short story staying away at christmas and it was lovely , so i was quite pleased to see a new short story available for this christmas called from scotland with love . i avidly dived in as soon as it had downloaded and i really enjoyed it ! from scotland with love is a cute , forty - minute read , perfect for the cold wintery nights . it begins with daisy arriving in scotland to get author rory mcallan to sign some bookplates since she messed up his last book signing rather spectacularly . she thinks she’ll pop in , get him to sign the bookplates and be on her way back to london within the hour , but the weather has other ideas , and she ends up snowed in at rory’s little cottage . the last thing she expects is that she’s going to spend her new years’ eve birthing puppies , but she may just enjoy it a lot more than she expects… . i really enjoyed from scotland with love , katie really excells with her christmas short stories , they’re short , sweet and always satisfying . i loved the setting , loved the daisy / rory chemistry , i loved griselda the dog . it was just such a lovely read , there’s not a lot you can say for such a short read , but this was delightful and i did sort of wish it was full - length ( that’s always the case – i always want more ! ) . katie is just such an accomplished storyteller and i just wanted to go and buy my own little cottage in scotland and spend my days reading and watching the beautiful scenery , that would be my idea of heaven ! bravo , katie , thank you for yet another lovely , christmassy read ! i eagerly await next year’s offering !
just tried patience griffin ' s to scotland with love narrated by kirsten potter . the narration is great just as i thought it would be . but the heroine drove me a bit crazy and it was a dnf after an hour or two . a woman returns to her hometown in scotland - now a widow - and is certainly feeling down and , i must say , bitchy . a mega star - a former sexiest man alive - is missing ( as he often is ) and she finds him there complete with a son he has attempted to keep away from the media . he ' s nice to he

what a great debut effort ! to scotland with love , by patience griffin , is a contemporary romance set in a quaint scottish village . i usually read historical fiction , or historical romances , so i wasn ' t sure i would like reading about scotland in the 21st century . well , the author , really drew me in . the characters are totally fleshed out . the heroine is sassy and sarcastic , with a lot of emotional baggage . the sexy film star hero also has a ton of problems . how in the world will these two get t

kc : this is a key thing for me . i know that whole film is people in scotland , that it ' s all scottish archive footage , and that the backdrop is scotland – but i worry about that a bit , because i think we ' ve got as much right in scotland to comment on art , and life , from everywhere else . and in many ways , the film and music ' s not about scotland – it ' s about any industrialised nation . none of the details , none of the social fabric , is inherently scottish at all . in my small life , i ' ve travelled everywhere , and it ' s the same wherever you go .
being scot / irish myself this book had extra appeal . i love the characters and can ' t wait for a continuation of the story . i cried as if i truly knew them and felt their pain . i won this book from goodreads firstreads .

63 so sorry for trying to blow up james vi of scotland when , as james i of england , he was visiting the houses of parliament .
he does concede that poetry is a little different with the
scotophilia
of the romantic period ,
but probably the best - known english text about scotland is still macbeth . i would suggest there might be a dash of scotophobia in shakespeare , and if your knowledge of scotland came from macbeth , you wouldn ' t really want to go there . i think that says a lot about the two cultures , their attitudes to britishness , and to each other .
the brief for what would become “from scotland with love” was broad – a poetic film about scotland using archive footage with a contemporary score but no narration or interviews . virginia began intensive research in the scottish screen archive over the summer of 2013 . stunning images from little - known archive films became sequences forming in her mind with themes such as love and loss , war , resistance , work and play . but finding the right composer to enhance the emotional story arcs was vital . virginia had already worked with david mcaulay , music supervisor , on another project . a trusted collaborator , he suggested king creosote for his lyrical ability to tell stories through song . which brought virginia and kenny together at that table in the cafe . “at first i said no , ” says kenny . “i wasn’t sure if my head was in the right place to write songs to order , which i’m bad at . i didn’t think i’d get the job because it’s one thing for a director to pick a song for a film and make a connection . but it’s never the connection that the songwriter originally intended . ”

i absolutely adored to scotland with love ( # 1 in kilts and quilts series ) by patience griffin . i am not sure why , but in the past few months i have read several books by different authors that have taken place or include scotland as all or part of the storyline ( lucky me ) . . oh and yes , there is outlander too . however , i am totally smitten with this feel good series with all its ups and downs throughout as the story unfolds . there are many magical and engaging characters in this first book , which takes place in the northern climes of gandiegow , and friends from cait ( caitronia ) macleod , graham buchanan , cait , s gran . . i also was filled with the promise of the threads of friendship and love that are sown throughout this book , even when faced with sadness and endings , which never really are endings but merely new forks in the road . you will not be disappointed when this book reaches its final page , but think of it as another opportunity to open the next book in this series to see where the connections lead !
