At the end of "Abrazame muy fuerte," there was a tribute to Caridad Bravo Adams. She died in 1990, but was a resident of Villahermosa, where a lot of this novela was evidently filmed. Of all the books in Spanish in the library, hers and Agatha Christie's (translated at various levels of difficulty) circulate the most. Last night's entertainment was Susan and God (1940). The best thing about it was the wardrobe of Joan Crawford--the millinery was spectacular. The self-help, quack-religion aspect is very true to today's life. It was very obviously a reconfigured stage play and ludicrous at times, but very "educational."
