dana_kujan, i loved the woman in white too.  but i don't remember the plot clearly anymore, and i didn't bring it to finland with me, so i guess we can't discuss how cool it was, really.

You know, it's about the noble guy, and the beautiful blonde girl who's a dead ringer for the Woman in White, and her brunette sister with the thick eyebrow(s) who's probably a lesbian, and the little Italian man who's a rather offensive stereotype when you think about it, and... so many other things. Maybe you should look it up on Amazon. Maybe I should demand my ancient copy back from my sister!

um. no, i don't remember.

is there a faked death, or does someone really die at the end? is there imprisonment in a creepy house?

was the woman in white a ghost and... they used the lookalike to convince a bad guy that she was still alive or something? no wait. that's a holmes story.

see, there's only so much space for books and movies in my head. after a few years they're gone and all that remains is my little mental sticky notes--usually no more informative than whether i or not i liked them.

i couldn't've fit more books in my baggage this go round anyway. :/

I don't recall a faked death. But someone the Italian knew drowned... or did he drown? I don't think the Woman in White was a ghost; the Lady in White was a ghost. The Holmes story with the lookalike hired to impersonate the imprisoned daughter to fool the fiance was the Copper Beeches. But I digress.

I tend to do the same sticky notes thing-- bearing either an upward or downward turned thumb-- in my own head half the time. Though if I really like a book/movie and read/watch it numerous times, whole scenes will adhere to my brain.

I think I need to read the Woman in White again.

was there some kind of impersonation though? or just that someone thought the girl who looked like the woman in white was her?

i do thumbs-up/thumbs-down stickies with people too. only rarely do i remember the circumstances in which someone has ticked me off. :)

i need to read it too. bummer--i FOUND it when i was home but i couldn't squeeze an extra book in my luggage.
