I liked how Elizabeth was accepted by her sisters, though the thought of not knowing your sisters is a little melancholy, considering what a close knit group they are here. The relationship with the parents was different. It's an interesting study, certainly :)Cerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908542708518435282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060237114571991862.post-74317496275545686552018-11-28T00:02:47.798+00:002018-11-28T00:02:47.798+00:00Hi Deborah Ann.

The only thing I find with a series is that it can seem more daunting - if you are short on reading time you need to find time for a series rather than just one, but at least this is only a pair of books rather than a longer series.Cerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908542708518435282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060237114571991862.post-61454357783590972812018-11-27T23:58:43.948+00:002018-11-27T23:58:43.948+00:00I'm glad you like the sound of it Ria! I know ...I'm glad you like the sound of it Ria! I know of a few with an Elizabeth brought up outside her family. One I read had her brought up as 'Anne de Bourgh' after a childless Lady C concocts a fake pregnancy scheme to ensure her financial security, but I can't remember the title! It's a premise I enjoy reading because a change so many years ago can lead to quite a different situation later on.Cerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908542708518435282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060237114571991862.post-41024024693624363922018-11-27T23:54:20.664+00:002018-11-27T23:54:20.664+00:00Hi Sagan.

On a sensible level it makes sense as the whole family will benefit, and there is one less to feed, clothe and educate, but emotionally it must have been harder. I think it must have helped if you had a larger family, because giving up the child not only benefits them but also their siblings, though it seems hard on the child that they have to be the sacrifice. Though, depending what they leave and what they go to, it may well be a change for the better! I think the surname thing must have been a bit of a bitter pill to swallow for the parents but that's the price they would have had to pay. I felt for Mr Bennet very early on in the book when his Uncle speaks to him about changing Elizabeth's surname. He doesn't really want to let her go at all but is considering the wider good of the family, and to Elizabeth herself.<br />Cerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908542708518435282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060237114571991862.post-63891712372825099352018-11-27T23:42:49.679+00:002018-11-27T23:42:49.679+00:00Hi Patty.
