I enjoyed the four-part film very much. =) I’ve never read the book, but I’m sure the movie was different in many aspects. The end was, for example. (I did read a little on the latter part of the novel). The cast was very good, for they were all talented actors and actresses. I think I’d like to read the book, too, but I’m not quite sure. Right now I’m reading North and South and I’m slowly realizing the many differences of movie and novel.

I like Molly Gibson. She’s the dependable sort of person - one you’d trust and confide in, which is why she was a receiver and keeper of most of the secrets of the other people around her. I am glad it turned out well with Roger. I thought he had liked her first, until Cynthia’s beauty blinded him. And I was relieved Cynthia did not end up with Mr Preston, even if it would’ve been for revenge for they’d make a miserable couple.
