When life is a horror....Don't look like a ghost!
Lucy gripped her chilled glass of orange and raspberry juice. When Rebecca talked about Austen, she__ mostly mentioned Mr. Darcy or Mr. Knightley. She hadn__ really thought of the doe-eyed, pale-skinned heroines. On the screen, Anne Elliot walked down a long hallway, glancing just once at covered paintings, her mouth a grim line. Lucy thought Jane Austen would start the story with the romance, or the loss of it, but instead the tale seemed to begin with Anne__ home, and having to make difficult decisions. Maybe this writer from over two hundred years ago knew how everything important met at the intersection of family, home, love, and loss. This was something Lucy understood with every fiber of her being.
