HUGE fan of how unabashedly this dunks on Caroline Bingley. We can empathize with women being trapped by the customs of the time and sexism in general without becoming bully apologists. Other than that…not much is happening. I’m realizing that the show was forced to deviate from the novel simply because it needed a tiny crumb of conflict to propel the story.

After watching the show I could not understand all of the mixed reviews I had seen for this book. The fact that it takes 200 pages to get Mary to London makes that make much more sense. If I hadn’t already formed a love for these characters and I didn’t know what was coming, I think I also would have struggled to make it through the first half. As it is, I do know. And I love them all deeply.
