Precious Possession is a story of love, plain and simple.  I absolutely loved the story of Graham Descantes a wealthy tradesman and his steadfast love for Lady Jane Leicheshire.  Two people from different walks of life come together to find their greatest joy in their love for each other.  The road is not smooth and Lady Jane does not see her worth.  She is lovely, playful and kind. Her father is a gambler and treats Jane as  if she is a nobody and favors her beautiful sister Sophie.  Sophie may possess outward beauty but she is selfish, greedy, spoiled and cruel which makes her an ugly person,  Graham has the opportunity to marry Jane and he has loved her since a chance meeting many years before when he was a young man.  Graham never forgot Jane and  wanted only to have his wildest dream come true which was to marry her.I really liked how the story unfolded.  It seemed in the beginning that the descriptions of the thoughts of the characters were long and a bit tedious. As I kept reading I began to not mind this and found that I enjoyed knowing the thoughts of just about every character right down to the maid.  Kind of like Downton Abbey, where you get all perspectives. I felt the love growing between Graham and Jane. I would have caved in to Graham and his declarations of love and affection a bit quicker than Jane. I was happy when she did finally acknowledge the wonderful man who gave her his heart unreservedly.  I enjoyed the length of the book as I have read Jane Eyre, many times and it is a very long book.  I have been reading novellas a lot lately because they seem to be flooding the market more than anything so to actual read something that was as long a  real book was good.I gave this book a solid four stars because of the typos, extra words and the formatting just jumped around a bit too much.
