Hello!

PerspicaciaTick, I entirely agree with you that AR was the most desirable Brandon there could be; and that Marianne got very very lucky.

Good Day, Ladies.

PerspicaciaTick · 21/04/2016 15:54

Alan Rickman was the most desirable JA adapation of a character ever Marianne definitely got lucky there.

I like S&S and it is about time I reread it. Hopefully you will all be able to help clarify some of the bemusing bits for me.

Been loving the other thread - I've found my people! Grin

Loved the Emma Thompson film of S&S although did think that her and Alan Rickman were too old for the parts they played which was a shame. AR and Kate Winslett just didn't look right together. Willoughby on the other hand.... He may be a heartless cad but that wouldn't bother me!!

What a good idea! Yes will try S&S altho it's my least favourite as not enough romance in it.
