I know! I have no idea how the TV series will fit in so many of the different threads from the book. It probably doesn’t, given that so much happens. And Shogun is next on my list to read, especially given that there is a new TV series of that.
These look great, Sarah. I don't read many mysteries, but this one looks really good. I'm also curious about Groundskeeping, but have the same feelings about lack of quotation marks.
I remember reading Normal People by Sally Rooney, and thought that my eyes were going at first because she doesn't use them either. I get used to it, but still, if you have to keep checking who is saying what/if some of the dialogue is a little more nuanced, then it is distracting.
There’s a Noble House series? Pierce Brosnan?!? My day is made. Noble House is one of Clavell’s best, but I think he peaked with Shogun. ☺️🙏

Yes! I had the same experience reading The Road by Cormac McCarthy. I wasn't prepared for it.😂
