It starts somewhere towards the end of the book, then goes back and
forth in the chronology. If you don’t know the story that might be confusing
but I like it.
It’s lively and beautifully filmed. The cast is excellent. The four
squabbling, fighting, loving sisters are absolutely convincing. I’ll have to
watch the ’93 version again soon to see which one I like better, if either of
them, but for now I’ll just say that I like this one very much indeed.
