The Dowry of Lady Eliza by Anita Stansfield
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Great little book! I really enjoyed reading this during my walking. It is a book akin to Pride and Prejudice - not the exact story line but about two sisters and their love interests. Take a couple of unexpected turns, and keeps your interest if you like to read some books just for fun and "down time". (many times I read books where I need to take notes or quotes so I can use them later in other areas/groups I'm in or teaching.)
As the story line progresses with these two sisters, their friends, and romantic interests, some good principles are shared as well throughout the storyline. Principles like forgiveness, humility, self-restraint, kindness, charity, understanding, patience, helping others, and not being so proud that you don't allow others to help you too. I guess I just really like reading books or watching movies that also teach me something, otherwise I feel it's a waste of time for the most part. I don't like wasting my time.
I would recommend this book for anyone ages 12+. It is all "PG" and that is something else I really appreciated about it.
A happy story of two sisters, their lives in upper class England, their interactions with the Vicar, their romantic interests, and their house help. Very Jane Austen-ish, yet different enough to not be "same ol', same ol'."
