Title: 19th century type romanic novel brought to life
Review: This novel as a movie brings to mind Jane Austin with the 19th centurymorays. Where Jane Austin pulled happiness out of all odds,this has a more American tragic bent in which a father's dominationdooms the love of his relatively homely daughter.In truth he turns out to be a fortune hunter,but the main theme is the father who loves his daughterbut can't really see her or her life in real terms.At the last he even cuts her from his will,after she has been his faith final nurse.There is nothing here but a tragic old maid end for the daughterwho takes up teaching small children.
