Ahhhh yes the time has come. I have almost finished the book. It is beautifully written. But so many words. I was reading a paragraph yesterday thinking how well it described the situation but where nowadays we would write one word she has used three sentences. it is hard reading only because I am used now to a totally different style.
I finished it a week and a half ago, Sol - and read two more books (non-list) since. But then I have more time than most. Waiting for comments to start coming in before offering my own penn'orth.
Btw: I've no idea who that gentleman above is, though I can guess who he might represent. I've never seen any adaptation of 'N & S', which may or may not be an advantage.
