# Responding to the book #

This book is a love story. John Deshwood has a lot of money and has his second wife’s son and his first wife’s three daughters but they didn’t meet. They were living in different places. One day John Deshwood dies so everything changes. His son has a lot of money but his three daughters become poor with their mother and move to a small house in the country. They meet handsome men. The first daughter (Eleanor) loved a handsome man, Edward. Eleanor broke up with him but he came back to Eleanor so they get married. The second daughter (Marianne) loved kindly Brandon and they fall in love. So she gets married to him. The last daughter (Margaret) loved a romantic man Willoughby, but he goes away as she’s poor after he meets a rich woman but then he breaks up with the rich woman.

This book was little difficult so I read it twice.

I don’t exactly like love stories so I’m not interested and I didn’t understand the reasons for the characters' actions.
