Oh was I bummed. At least for two days. Lovely film, but very bittersweet. Of course, they had to remain true to history and history indicates LeFroy was but a young flirtation of Jane’s. But still, he really did name his daughter “Jane”, so you have to wonder about that.

I would find it hard saying good-bye to James McAvoy. It is true he didn’t start out as a sympathetic character, yet I admired him as someone who allowed himself to be transformed for the sake of the one he loved and that is a quality that wins my heart: the willingness to be vulnerable and to grow in love.
