Recently I watched the TV series which was quite well done. But the book has so much more!
At the moment, I’m into the second epoch. I find in Marian Halcombe one of the finest portrayals of a Victorian heroine I have ever encountered. And the narrator does her full justice, magnificently conveying a range of emotions. Consider, for example, the dramatisation of Marian’s reaction to the approaching carriage as Laura and Sir Percival return from their European trip.
