I wasn't a big fan of North and South because when I was young I used to think of it as a Pride and Prejudice copy but this modernization made me want to read it again. I fell in love with the characters, especially with Jay and loved his hard path through life. I heartily invite everyone to read this story. Kudos to the writer!Lorenhttp://tomorrowisanotherday.altervista.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060237114571991862.post-49753116337952448552017-11-30T20:50:20.396+00:002017-11-30T20:50:20.396+00:00I had never read N&S until my GoodReads friend...I had never read N&S until my GoodReads friends goaded me... rather talked about it so much... I felt I could not go through life without having read it. Then I fell into the fan fiction variations [Clarkston I blame you] and that was it for me. I look forward to reading this variation. The clash of societies, personalities and fortunes looks really interesting. I already have the other books and will be pleased to add this one to my collection. Thanks to Ceri for hosting and thanks to our author for the generous give-a-way. Thank you. Blessings on the launch and success of this group of stories. J. W. Garrettnoreply@blogger.com
