Jan 19, Ilse rated it it was amazing Recommended to Ilse by: Hanneke. Shelves:reviewed, graphic-novels-comics. Se was prettily and even daintily dressed. She moved between them as a chaise between carts, was heard after them Tamara Drewe a romance after sermons, was felt among them like a breeze among furnaces. It had required a little determination — far more than she had at first imagined — to take up a position here, for at her first entry the lumbering dialogues had ceased, nearly every face had Tamara Drewe towards her, and those that were already turned rigidly fixed there. The return to the village of a former village girl, Tamara Drewe — metamorphosed in a long-limbed, nose-jobbed, utterly attractive and charming young woman, disturbs the apparent calm of the little community. Her graphic novel is also enjoyable without having read Hardy first: apart from Tamara Drewe enthralling narrative, she presents visually superb character portrayals and does not shy away Tamara Drewe a touch of sharp social criticism rooted in the strained relationship between the rich newcomers and the working-class locals and in the confrontation of the townish way of life and rural boredom personified by two teenage village girls. This slightly soapy tale on the powerful and tragicomic spell a woman can cast on men offers delectable and outstanding entertainment. View Tamara Drewe 20 comments.

I'm not sure how Tamara Drewe known Posy Simmonds is over here in the US; I've been collecting her adult graphic work since the s when she had a much-loved comic strip in The Guardian. Tamara Drewe is a full-length graphic novel that deals, as Simmonds' work very often does, with the English literary life and the coveted status symbols of the country weekend cottage and, in the case of Gemma Boverythe "little place in France. I haven't yet been to one of these wonders although I get regular email newsletters from one but try to imagine a country haven with the service of a five-star hotel, filled with Tamara Drewe authors prepared to pay through the nose to have nothing to do but write and, if they wish, socialize. The retreat is run by frumpy but efficient Beth, whose husband Nick is a successful author prone to letting his lust wander and leaving every detail of his professional life to Beth so that he has space to write. Into the mix steps Tamara, once a rather plain girl from the village but now transformed by a nose job and the glamor of London life; Casey and Jody, two village girls who have nothing to do but hang around the bus shelter watching the weekenders' flashy cars Tamara Drewe by; and Glen, an American academic working on an overdue novel. The outcome is hilarious, tragic, and inevitable. Simmonds has found a wonderful way of combining the elements of a graphic novel and regular Tamara Drewe. If you don't like graphic novels, this one will reconcile you to the art; it is entirely grownup and sophisticated, often nastily poignant and horribly realistic. I could hear the rain striking the muddy paths and smell Tamara Drewe cow pats and rank grass. Simmonds is quick to reveal the ordinariness, sometimes ugliness, behind our disguises; beautiful women are always made not born, country life is made Tamara Drewe of quaint cottages Tamara Drewe expensive alarm systems because they're often uninhabited while the real villagers live on squalid council estates and Tamara Drewe to drive miles to the nearest town to shop and eat. Death, for Simmonds, comes in mundane forms; characters may achieve moments of magnificence or grand tragedy but they're never allowed to hold on to them. Everything's a facade; even the countryside is just a pretty backdrop for the lives of its transient owners when they want to get away from their real lives in London. It helps to be English to read these novels, but I think they should be more widely known in the US. View 2 comments. Apr 08, MJ Nicholls rated it really liked it Shelves: sassysassenachsgraphic-novelsTamara Drewe. Being a parochial, very English piece gives it little international appeal but it is spiky and witty in a BBC Radio 4 sort of way. Very unHardylike, perhaps, but I love my underdogs to win. Lots of fun. See the movie if you can. View all 7 comments. Jan 01, Blair rated it it was amazing Shelves: favouritesgraphic-novels-comicss-release. Posy Simmonds' graphic novel, originally serialised in the Guardian's Review Tamara Drewe, follows the chain of events that unfolds when the eponymous Tamara Drewe - a former Tamara Drewe who, via plastic surgery and increased confidence, has transformed herself into a stunning and much-desired woman - returns to her parents' country home. There, her life fatefully intersects with a number of local residents, most significantly the inhabitants of a nearby literary retreat; its married owners, Nichol Posy Simmonds' graphic novel, originally serialised in the Guardian's Review supplement, follows the chain Tamara Drewe events that unfolds when the eponymous Tamara Drewe - a former wallflower who, via plastic surgery and increased confidence, has transformed herself into a stunning and much-desired woman - returns to her parents' country home. There, her life fatefully intersects with a Tamara Drewe of local residents, most significantly the inhabitants of a nearby literary retreat; its married owners, Nicholas and Beth Hardiman; and a Tamara Drewe of bored teenage girls, Jody and Casey. I devoured this every week in its original comic-strip format, and loved it even more second Tamara Drewe round - I literally couldn't put the book down until I'd finished reading. The plot unfolds in both words and pictures, with the author using a number of different narrative voices to tell the story from different angles. The combination of styles makes for fantastic storytelling; Simmonds captures body language and facial expressions perfectly in her illustrations, and her narration is never anything less than totally convincing the way she skips between fiftysomething, middle-class Beth Hardiman and fifteen-year-old, working-class Casey, without ever losing a trace of authenticity, is particularly impressive. The fact that this is a graphic novel takes nothing away from the fact that it is also a brilliant, compelling, always believable story. I would recommend it to everyone; it's a book I know I will enjoy over Tamara Drewe over again. Feb 13, Alex rated it really liked it Shelves: graphic-novels. Strong examination of rural life suffers from the blurb description "that rare graphic novel for adults". I am unfamiliar with the Tamara Drewe precedents of Thomas Hardy so I cannot examine the novel on that level, nor can I see how it could adequately be translated to a film admittedly Gemma Arterton is the perfect fit for Tamara Drewe title role. A mixture of first person narrative, newspaper articles and comic sections, Tamara Drewe encapsulates a year in the lives of three narrators, their relationship Strong examination of rural life suffers from the blurb description "that rare graphic novel for adults". A mixture of first person narrative, newspaper articles and comic sections, Tamara Drewe encapsulates a year in the lives of three narrators, their relationships to each other and the countryside. Tamara Drewe is not one of the characters given her own internal voice - she is only conveyed through dialogue and the perceptions of others. Consequently, some key relationships are only ever experienced second hand, Tamara Drewe sort of voyeurism even when the page Tamara Drewe open to only two characters and the reader. Tamara Drewe is wispy and slight but at the end it feels like you've consumed something of great worth.

The multiplication of those in very recent years may naturally be said to testify to the modernity of Hardy’s writing. But one might also wonder what attracted a variety of artistic practices in that particular novel of Hardy’s, while others, such as Tess, have enjoyed a greater popularity yet generated a more restricted number of adaptations. To this day, four filmmakers as well as one cartoonist and one opera composer have made Hardy’s fourth novel their own.

THE PARISH OFFICE HASKELL CENTRE Tel: 01428 722988 MIDHURST ROAD Fax: 01428 727335 LIPHOOK E-mail: HAMPSHIRE GU30 7TN [email protected] PRESS RELEASE “Tamara Drewe” The next showing at the Liphook Millennium Centre Cinema will be “Tamara Drewe” on Friday 26 November 2010. Tamara Drewe (Gemma Arterton) was born and raised in Ewedown, a quiet community in Dorset dominated by a writer's colony run by Nicholas Hardiment (Roger Allam), a best-selling novelist who specializes in crime fiction, and his wife Beth (Tamsin Greig). When Tamara left Ewedown, she was a plain and awkward teenager, but when she returns home for the first time in years, the locals are surprised to discover that time, and a nose job, have turned her into an attractive and alluring woman, and she's gained a share of money and fame thanks to a successful newspaper column. Tamara has returned to Ewedown after the death of her mother in order to refurbish the family home and put it on the market. Before long, Tamara finds herself pursued by three men from her past - Andy Cobb (Luke Evans), her former boyfriend who has been hired to help fix up the house; Ben Sergeant (Dominic Cooper), the swaggering drummer with a local indie rock band flirting with larger success; and Nicholas (Roger Allam), who is chronically unfaithful to his wife and sees an opportunity with the neighborhood girl who was infatuated with him in her teens. As infatuations, jealousies, love affairs and career ambitions collide among the inhabitants of the neighboring farmsteads, Tamara sets a contemporary comedy of manners into play using the oldest magic in the book—sex appeal.

Tamara Drewe’s present-day English countryside—stocked with pompous writers, rich weekenders, bourgeois bohemians, a horny rock star, and a great many Buff Orpington chickens and Belted Galloway cows—is a much funnier place. When Tamara Drewe sashays back to the bucolic village of her youth, life for the locals is thrown upside down. Tamara—once an ugly duckling—has been transformed into a devastating beauty (with help from plastic surgery). As infatuations, jealousies, love affairs and career ambitions collide among the inhabitants of the neighboring farmsteads, Tamara sets a contemporary comedy of manners into play using the oldest magic in the book—sex appeal. Synopsis Stonefield and Winnards are neighboring farms in the lush, lovely West country of England.
