It was a marriage according to nature, without feast or guests.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDicky becomes very attentive toward Emmeline, listening to her stories and bringing her gifts. Over several months they make love often and eventually Emmeline becomes pregnant...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe novel has inspired several film adaptations, most notably The Blue Lagoon starring Brooke Shields as Emmeline and Christopher Atkins as Richard (\"Dicky\" in the book).","brand":"JPU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47112239677680,"sku":"2940156981403","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940156981403_p0.jpg?v=1764090215","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940156981403","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
