This book is perfect if you love Jane Austen and Pride and Prejudice in particular. Unfortunately I wouldn't be classed as a fan of either. I still enjoyed this book thoroughly, however. Having read Pride and Prejudice as well as seeing the movie, it was a great transition and it was as if Jane her...
I really liked it, probably the best sequel to Pride and Prejudice I've read, certainly the best at mimicking Austen's prose.

I am familiar with the plots and some of the characters in most of her books but unacquainted with her writing style. My review of this book by P.D. James should be vie...
