I loved this book way more than I thought I would. The classic 19th century romance has many interesting twists that enhance the genre. Emily does not search for marriage but it finds her anyway, much like the best relationships. The dark and slightly gothic second part had me completely hooked! This edition I would especially recommend as the font is very big compared to most classics, making it an easier read.
