Recently filmed, this is now regarded as a seminal book. Odd, perhaps for a romantic drama in the Jane Austen tradition, but it has a sly cleverness and careful development of character that gives it a satisfying complexity. It's a rites of passage story told with more care and philosophy than most, and with the perfect, moving ending.
