Just be prepared for a lot of discrepancies in the story (for example, Mrs. Smith is recast as the Elliot's former governess). Usually this kind of thing really irritates me, but the complete lack of reality throughout the story helped me to see past it.Alexa Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10086472405632748174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6589226281542951200.post-62233976051431502362010-07-15T23:02:50.842-04:002010-07-15T23:02:50.842-04:00The silliness of the Elliots makes them such inter...The silliness of the Elliots makes them such interesting characters. It's amusing that it's the complete opposite of what one would expect of Mary Musgrove... she who hasn't the nerves for the sickroom. ;) I must admit I'm curious enough to read it just based on that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6589226281542951200.post-69443190690210801132010-07-14T14:29:46.460-04:002010-07-14T14:29:46.460-04:00Hi Meredith.

I know I've missed all kinds of wonderful posts.<br /><br />novemberautumn - we are in a radically different world here. One of my favorite parts of the book is that the Elliots are redeemed, but it is pretty far fetched.Alexa Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10086472405632748174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6589226281542951200.post-16639353721463432232010-07-14T11:12:48.712-04:002010-07-14T11:12:48.712-04:00Mary Musgrove helping Florence Nightingale?

Then, I didn't mind "jogging" Anne in 2007 ITV Persuasion. She didn't disturb my love for the novel, "running after" Captain Wentworth. ;-)<br />Thanks for sharing<br />MGMaria Graziahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08876779286144473782noreply@blogger.com
