A simply wonderful book, narated brilliantly by Juliet Stevenson. I would say that this sits at the mid point between Austin and Dickens. Not as bleak as Dickens but not as light and fluffy as Austin.
It has absolutely everything Comedy, Tragedy, Industrial Unrest Classism and Romace. Oh the romance and kindness. All written with such lightness of touch.
I never put my self down as someone who could be blown away by a Victorian novel as much as a contemporary one but I now have.
Please anyone who carers about the world both then and now reaad or listen to masterpiece.
