Austen is always a fun read. I love her characterization. She presents the human warts as simply and as unagologetically as she does our heroic qualities.
For those who have never read Jane Austen's novels, you might find them slow starters, but they provide a satisfying ending of true love.
I will confess, however, that I was clear to the scene where Louisa gets hurt at the seaside before I thought, "I think I saw this as a movie." Go figure. I had.
