Mr Thornton has definitely acceded to the post of best literary hero in my mind (sorry, Mr Da...
Parece fanfiction de Jane Austen. Quizá fanfiction del que no es horrible, pero si son casi los mismos personajes y situaciones que podemos encontrar en Orgullo y Prejuicio o Sentido y Sensibilidad, aunqe sin el sentido del humor característico de Austen.Debo admitir que la parte social de este libr...

Until embarrassingly recently I really only knew Gaskell as Charlotte Brontë’s (not so objective) biographer.
