I love the point you make about Pride and Prejudice coming first. How true! I forget sometimes that classic authors could still have been influenced by folks before them.

Thanks for the inspiration to finally read a book that has been on my list for years! I enjoyed it very much despite it’s being a bit dark. I agree with Barbara H. in that one of the passages I loved the most was her refusing to become Mr. Rochester’s mistress. “Laws and principles are not for the times when there is no temptation.” – my favorite quote.

I read and reviewed this book here about a year and a half ago (I didn't link it above since it was more of a review than a discussion and it wasn't recent). It quickly became one of my favorites. I was amazed at the humor in it -- I had thought it was all dark and brooding. And even though it is not a Christian book per se, I loved the Christian principles in it. One of my favorite passages is Jane's reasoning about how she cannot be Rochester's mistress though strongly tempted.
