Yay next one done. Finished #SenseAndSensibility by #JaneAusten on #Libby
Watching the film version with Emma Thompson a few months ago ignited my excitement to read through all her books for the first time. P&P, Emma now Sense and Sensibility. I knew what to expect from the movie but I enjoyed it. My only gripe is Edward Ferrars seemed like such a bore I don’t know why Elinor held out all her hopes on him. I know English society wasn’t kind to poorer women etc but still, were there no other men at all at any of the places she went in London at least? Also the big love story of the book is basically based on two people who never do anything together. There was a lot of side-eyeing between the Dashwoods and the other women characters in this book which was funny at least. Probably liked better than Emma but still a rung beneath Pride and Prejudice

Emma by Jane Austen. Never read before and borrowed it after I devoured Pride and Prejudice. I definitely took longer to warm up to this. Emma is a difficult character to root for and the other characters who turn out to be good are all concealing their true selves for about 90% of the book.
. I had watched the BBC miniseries about 20 years ago , and remembered the basics. I absolutely fell in love with the text though and the characters of Elizabeth, Mr. Darcy and Mrs and Mr. Bennet. I have a lot of thoughts on this story.
