Given your endorsement of Persuasion, I think I shall read it.  I have
seen, and have on tape, the versions of Pride and Prejudice, and Sense
and Sensibility PBS will be showing ... and maybe the same version of
Emma. All are much better adaptations than Persuasion was. Regardless
of absolutely everything, I'm looking forward to the rest of the PBS
offerings. Jane Austen rocks!
