Makes me appreciate the mini series

Goodness, the actual novel makes me appreciate how much more fleshed out the story was in the miniseries. Makes me greatly appreciate the writers! Of course, this is a typical Victorian novel, where the woman is ever so grateful of any attention from males. I found myself yelling at my phone, which is ultimately unproductive, but made me feel better. The writers of the miniseries really took actual events of the times, and incorporated them into the story rather seamlessly. So yes, I am evermore astounded at the richness of the ministries, versus the novel that they had to work with.
