I'm glad I did, though--I am really enjoying the novel, and I'm finding through reading it that I am appreciating the miniseries version even more. I think they did a great job of staying true to Gaskell's words.Celestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05834674328751444179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2682457774245843924.post-18658574903911469342014-06-12T18:01:56.405-07:002014-06-12T18:01:56.405-07:00Hi Amy, I belong to a couple yahoogroups for used ...Hi Amy, I belong to a couple yahoogroups for used book sales, cathswap being a particular favorite and where I get almost all of our religious titles.
