Love, love, love this story. Elinor Dashwood is one of my favourite Austen characters. The audio version with Elizabeth Klett via Librivox was superb. I need to re-watch the movie now.

classic for a reason. felt like i needed to reread an Austen novel for a bit of nostalgia and loved it as always. interestingly i found it difficult to readjust to her language after reading so much modern fiction recently.

Por el momento, Jane Austen y yo no nos entendemos muy bien.
Entiendo la evolución de los personajes y el porqué de la historia, no voy a ser tan simplista como para resumirla a lo que, de buenas a primeras, parece solo dos chicas jóvenes esperando a que sus amados sean iluminados por la virgen y quieran casarse con ellas. Eso no quita que, aunque de cierta forma se vea dicha evolución, la trama me parezca anodina y que me haya costado horrores terminar el libro (y tener ganas de ponerme a leerlo). Las descripciones son escasas y vagas, no logran transportarme. No tiraré la toalla aún con la autora, pero por el momento me parece que está sobrevalorada (siento si esto hiere la sensibilidad de alguien).

I have so many complicated feelings about the themes in this book. And I love it. The whole time I was listening to this audiobook (Juliet Stevenson is queen btw) I kept feeling awe at how skillfully and masterfully Emma Thompson translated this into one of my favorite movies of all time.

I don't have a whole lot more to say about this right now, just that I love this story a lot. And......... THE AIR IS FULL OF SPICES okay sorry I couldn't resist.
