![]() ![]() But the philosophical conversations upon ithose subjects are interesting to think about and enjoyable to hear. it doesn't try to force a happy ending, it's more open ended on if things will wide spread change for the better or not but I liked that because it seems more realistic. ![]() It's not quite as dramatic but that seems to be because it was written from the perspective of back then so its not as harsh a judgement. And if you've seen the show and admired the way it addresses class struggles and unions you'll like the way it handles it in the book. Mr Thornton too, grows and is so sweet to watch especially in regards to his love for Margret. And seeing her grow is a pleasure and very satisfactory to watch. she's lovable and very human, she's a good person but of course she makes mistakes but admits them. But the reason I loved this book so much is that it gives you so much more. It's a fantastic story even better than the show which was already awesome. ![]() While rewatching it a while back I realized the book existed. I found this book because I first saw the BBC miniseries based upon it. Wonderful!! a great story that's not just romantic ![]()
