I almost abandoned this one. The main character is an awful person. Mean, rude, selfish, doesn't have a heart, and only wants to marry for money and prestige. I wished that the main character was her sister instead. I wasn't sure if I could continue reading. 

But then she is injured and she starts to change. She clings to her old life and old dreams until nearly the end of the book. Great ending to the story. I understand why it took her so long to change her views and ideas, but it was painful to wait so long for it to happen.
