Title: Maria Pia Post by: Gregor Milne on February 23, 2006, 04:43:44 PM Congratulations to J. Pailler, whose book, Maria Pia, has just been published by Bertrand Editora in Lisbon!
We have been serializing this book in English form since the beginning of Projected Letters, and are proud to a part of the adventure! Congratulations again! Title: Re: Maria Pia Post by: Chuck on February 25, 2006, 01:29:09 PM Congratulations on a job well done!
Title: Re: Maria Pia Post by: Felix de Carabas on March 09, 2006, 03:33:10 PM Right you are, Chuck.
A job well done is just a job done - congrats unnecessary. Now is this subject worth discussion? You tell me. Give us just one tiny reason for reading the Maria Pia stuff.? :-X Title: Re: Maria Pia Post by: Gregor Milne on March 16, 2006, 01:03:46 PM The book's selling like hotcakes (is that kind of terminology still used?) in Portugal--and PL is the only place you're going to find it in English. It's also the biggest piece on Projected Letters hit-wise. It's the most looked at, and the most stayed-on piece on the site. An historical saga worth reading even for ardent anti-monarchists like myself.

Title: Re: Maria Pia Post by: madox g.m. on June 07, 2006, 03:27:14 PM Once I got into a familiar restaurant (now demolished) in a seaside place (now forgotten) and there was this old lady, all in black, demure and drab, sitting all alone on a chair with a small handbag on her knees. She was so much out of place in that trendy place where strange bargains would be cut after midnight, that I wondered. Then a man came to pick her up and I realized she was the Queen of Bulgaria waiting for her brother the King of Italy. Oh dear! Queens were a-plenty in that place. ;)
Title: Re: Maria Pia Post by: Al Facinha on October 17, 2006, 03:45:17 AM I have been reading and rereading chapter 7, and I wonder what the hell became at the end of the Lady? Or is the crafty author just leaving us like that hanging on a last question mark? That would be very unfair - and very typically French.

Title: Re: Maria Pia Post by: Al Facinha on April 17, 2007, 01:20:56 AM ;) Hey! If that dastardly frog can't deliver the end of the story, why don't PL launch a competition about the most inventive final chapter? Missing lady elopes with Swiss frigate's crew, or seomething...
