I think it's partly because Emma was quite isolated really, so you didn't get much of a feeling from wider society, if that makes any sense.Cerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908542708518435282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060237114571991862.post-52387447993302040762017-09-30T23:13:37.187+01:002017-09-30T23:13:37.187+01:00Thanks Debbie.

One of the reasons was that I couldn't feel the atmosphere of the '30s. So when I read about your comment about the 1970s, I immediately thought of that other book. Hopefully, I will enjoy this one nonetheless.

I thought that was an especially nice touch. Nice when a reader notes the subtleties and also appreciates the not so obvious.
