Colonel Brandon's Diary by Amanda Grange

Alas, my emotions are far too 'out there' to ever be Elinor.Īlso, when I took the 'Austen Hero' quiz, Colonel Brandon came up as my choice. Every time I take that 'What Austen Heroine Are You' quiz, I come up as Marianne.even though I REALLY wish I came up as Elinor. I think I might like this novel, and I am going to add it to my Goodreads 'to read' shelf.making approximately 95 books on that shelf! Next, I'm so glad that you found something which helps to get those 'creative juices' flowing once more. Her passing has been heartbreaking for our family, and the kindness and caring of friends has been a real comfort. Awesomeness!įirst of all, thank you so much for your caring words about the loss of my sweet Nikki dog. 'For I have discovered the falsehood of my own opinions, and now it only remains for me to counteract them by my conduct.' (p. 'I have been born to an extraordinary fate, have I not?' she said, stopping and turning to face me.

So, a thoroughly enjoyable summer read, and very helpful to my novel-writing endeavors. Which happens to be my very favorite name ever. His love for her makes a lot more sense to me now.Īlso, Grange gave Colonel Brandon a first name: James.

Anyway, this showed how Marianne's liveliness gave Colonel Brandon a new appreciation of life after his earlier heartaches left him numb.

Edward Ferrars is, I'm afraid, rather boring to me. I never completely liked the pairing of Colonel Brandon and Marianne Dashwood - probably because I like Elinor better than Marianne, and Brandon better than Ferrars, so I'd rather see Elinor and Brandon get together. This book actually makes me like Sense and Sensibility better.
