It hadn't been on my radar before so thank you for sharing your review on it. I like the changes that was made to it to modernize it especially Emma's father becoming her grandfather and that he has some real ailments. Harriet becoming his nurse makes sense. It wasn't mentioned but I'm guessing in this modern setting, the circumstances of her birth are not an issue but probably just her lack of wealth.darcybennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402257268742720716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2790614306320534072.post-7963231588455790742019-08-13T08:19:09.914-04:002019-08-13T08:19:09.914-04:00A more briskly paced "Emma" sounds like ...A more briskly paced "Emma" sounds like a fun, light read!John Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14692188725616854777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2790614306320534072.post-73418894650792973472019-08-12T19:29:06.599-04:002019-08-12T19:29:06.599-04:00Oh man, the list...
