British social comedy examines a young heroine’s struggle against strait-laced Victorian attitudes as she rejects the man her family has encouraged her to marry and chooses, instead, a socially unsuitable fellow she met on holiday in Italy. Classic exploration of passion, human nature and social convention.
Overall, I was a bit disappointed in this novel. I had heard that it was a great social commentary piece. I had heard that it had great characters. I guess I can see those things. However, throughout most of the book I was just bored. Guess it just wasn’t my cup of tea.
Movie:
Loved the actor choices for this novel. Loved the locations. Thought it was a very good adaptation of the novel. But, like the novel I was bored throughout most of the movie. This will not be on my rewatch list.
