The deal was negotiated by CAA and Ned Haspel at John Wells Productions. “They’ve already brought such clarity of vision to the project, such insight and richness to the world of the novel - I can’t wait to see these characters on screen. “I am so excited to partner with John, Erin, and the brilliant team at John Wells Productions,” said Kukafka. JWP’s multi-nominated series Maid, starring Margaret Qualley, has become one of Netflix’s most successful series of all time. John Wells Productions most recently optioned the rights to the three-book crime series The High Coast from Swedish author Tove Alsterdal, and is currently in production on its modern Hawaii drama Ke Nui Road for HBO Max and Warner Bros Television. She is a graduate of New York Universitys Gallatin School of Individualized Study. Kukafka also is credited as an executive producer.

She’s confined to a specific gallery where no one believes her about her name. There, Louisa is told that her name is Lucy Cousins. Unfortunately, what Louisa has assumed to be the Woodville estate is actually Wildthorn Hall, an insane asylum for women. After exiting the train, she comes across a grand house with huge grounds. She’s a bit leary of her traveling companion, but figures that she’ll be fine once she gets to the Woodville estate. Louisa Cosgrove is taking the train to be a governess for the Woodville family. It’s not a coming out book! I was so into this book, it was so different from the other books on my pile and I have to admit, I love the variety. This is a smart, well-written historical fiction young adult book that features a main character who happens to be a lesbian. It turns out, I was really missing out by not reading Wildthorn by Jane Eagland. I think most normal bloggers take review copies that have been on their pile that long and cull them because if you aren’t interested enough to read the book within four years of receiving it, what’s the point? However, I have this enormous guilt complex and because it’s from my very first BEA, I made myself FINALLY read the book over the course of two days. ![]() I am very embarrassed to admit that an ARC of Wildthorn has been sitting in my house unread since 2010. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() After a perfect day together, Marlon and Wesley announce plans to marry.
