Remembering how easy we have it--so true! Even the wealthy had to deal with elements of life that we would find intolerable. I loved how they kept their marriage alive during long separations with letters, too.
I don't think that mini series made it over the pond but I'll check for it online now as- I too am a real history nerd.
Have you read the Diana Gabaldon series of books - Outlander - I know some consider them historical romances but her research is excellent and her main characters of Jamie Fraser and Claire are my favourite of all times.It was a fascinating period in history for both sides of the atlantic.
Oh, I think you'll love John Adams. The scenes with Adams and Benjamin Franklin at the French court are especially hilarious.
I haven't read the Outlander books, although I've heard of them, of course. I'm going to need some beach reading soon, I might have to check those out! I'm always on the prowl for something new!
