About Lizzie Hexam
I am a Catholic, an aspiring homemaker and writer, and a consumer of good books, music from the 1920s-1960s, and period dramas. (Among other things. I consume food sometimes too, for instance.)

Quote from an ancient homily for Holy Saturday: "Something strange is happening - there is a great silence on earth today, a great silence and stillness. The whole earth keeps silence because the King is asleep. The earth trembled and is still because God has fallen asleep in the flesh and He has raised up all who have slept ever since the world began. God has died in the flesh and Hell trembles with fear."

Heaven and Hell in The Great Divorce

Today's blog post was slotted to be something quite different (its elegant title in draft was "First Drafts & Writer's Block & Snippets"), but then I stumbled upon the Grim Writer's Remember, O Thou Man Lent link-up...and that put an…

A Half-Hearted Defense of Henry and Mary Crawford

Shall I shock you all and confess that there was a point in my first perusal of Mansfield Park in which I was really hoping Fanny would end up with Henry Crawford? While Jane Austen has plenty of interesting villains,…
