Wow...gotta think about this review. Loved it though! What a personal journey of self discovery.

"I have passed out of childhood into old age. I have had no youth - no womanhood; the hope of womanhood have closed for me - for I shall never marry; and I anticipate cares and sorrows just as if I were an old woman, and with the same fearful spirit. I am weary of this continual call upon me for strength."

"Now you would like to see that, wouldn't you?" Said he. "No! You must wait till you see her herself. She is far too perfect to be known by fragments. No mean brick shall be a specimen of the building of my palace."

"His greatest comfort was in hugging his torment..."

"Mr Thornton was in habits of authority himself, but she seemed to assume some kind of rule over him at once. He had been getting impatient at the loss of his time on a market-day, the moment before she appeared, yet now he calmly took a seat at her bidding." Sweet! He's totally thrown off at their first meeting. I love it!!!

I need a lovely romance and this has come highly recommended! I'm excited to read an AND watch the series...Thornton is pretty smokin' ;)
