British social comedy examines a young heroine's struggle against strait-laced Victorian attitudes as she rejects the man her family has encouraged her to marry and chooses, instead, a socially unsuitable fellow she met on holiday in Italy. Classic exploration of passion, human nature and social convention.

Overall, I was a bit disappointed in this novel.  I had heard that it was a great social commentary piece.  I had heard that it had great characters.  I guess I can see those things.  However, throughout most of the book I was just bored.  Guess it just wasn't my cup of tea.

Movie:

Loved the actor choices for this novel. Loved the locations.  Thought it was a very good adaptation of the novel.  But, like the novel I was bored throughout most of the movie.  This will not be on my rewatch list.
