It's not like this novel hasn't been done before. See the 1995 version if one must.

My wife is a huge Jane Austen fan, but she did not like the 1995 version of Persuasion. She did like the films of Sense & Sensibility (1995), Emma (1995) and Pride & Prejudice (2005 film and 1995 miniseries). We have reached a point in which filmmakers cannot be relied upon to faithfully adapt these stories.

Love the newer version with Sally Hawkins and Rupert Penny-Jones, but the BEST version - IMHO - is the 1995 Persuasion with Amanda Root and Ciaran Hinds. Most excellently cast!

Won’t even bother with this latest and especially since it’s Netflix.
