I know what you mean about so many novels 'borrowing' Austen's plots, but rarely equalling her style and wit.Hilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06635628613744519816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6398386242806301174.post-28377406160153199692012-07-18T11:17:21.420-04:002012-07-18T11:17:21.420-04:00I loved Major Pettigrew's Last Stand!

I thought it really captured the theme of being old in years and body, but young in mind and spirit; as well as the older person watching the world change and not being sure that's a good thing, but coping with it anyway... The characters were so real: changing their minds, doubting their choices, messing up... Such a warm and caring book... Glad to hear your take on it!Ingridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04196816681905653940noreply@blogger.com
