I would love to win a copy of The Three Weissmanns of Westport! I'm also in the Sense and Sensibility Bicentenary Challenge 2011 and I'd like to read this book as part of my challenge.
ReplyDeleteIn a Sense and Sensibility modernization, I would love to see the characters maintain their basic premise (Elinor character not showing emotion and trying to help her family while Marianne is all about love and poetry). I would also love to see more Willoughby as he is my favorite Austen bad boy!
Thank-you for the great giveaway!

You're welcome, Laura! I think this book does, in many ways, fulfill your expectations. Willoughby is certainly one of Austen's more irresistible rogues. Thanks for entering and good luck!
ReplyDeleteToo bad I don't fit the bill as I'm living outside US. Nevertheless, all the best to participants.
ReplyDeleteP/s: I'm currently reading the hardcover novel and so far I love what I'm reading.
Hi Luthien84. I wish I could have opened it internationally, but that was the publisher's call. I'm glad you are enjoying it!
