Sense And Sensibility..the verdict

Over the last few months, yes months, we have been reading Sense & Sensibility. It took a while to get into it and figure out the characters, but once we had the plot grasped we read it as often as we could. We read it after breakfast, after dinner, in the car on the way to Ballet or where ever we could.
Finally, we finished it and we were treated to the movie.  We sat down with a treat and the fire blazing keeping us warm. It was fantastic to watch the movie........

BUT....We weren't  really impressed with the version we purchased. In this version Margaret was younger, Willoughby's big confession was not highlighted, Miss Steele did not stay with The Miss Dashwoods, we did feel Fanny was well casted as was Marianne.
Now we need to make a decision, what shall we read next????? It has been suggested we read Persuasion ....

  1. Vicki, I lost your comment. So sorry. Yes it was a pretty movie...Its funny how children react to various situations like Elinors Crying at the end of the movie...
