I know there's more to WH but I just didn't find the story at all romantic. Austen has such a lightness about her work yet the characters remain real. Life has tragedy but so much happiness and beauty, as well as humor, and thus I love Austen's focus.<br /><br />Thanks for posting :)Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04606881864044928664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078409689570875027.post-90947349034691345772012-07-24T08:03:36.901-04:002012-07-24T08:03:36.901-04:00"Perhaps because they were characters who wer..."Perhaps because they were characters who were allowed to discover things and are better for those discoveries.

It definitely got lots of comments on dwg. I hope it will be re-posted there and I can read it in it's entirety. <br /><br />Love your statement about Austen's heroes and heroines learning and growing from their mistakes and striving to do the right thing. So true!MonicaPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15059381106713282439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078409689570875027.post-74967947835641202562012-07-21T17:05:56.225-04:002012-07-21T17:05:56.225-04:00I have just been over to read this story and it ha...I have just been over to read this story and it has been withdrawn.
