Such a disappointment! This book was recommended by a Goodfriend and I made the mistake of really looking forward to reading it when I opened the book. However, I just could not get into it. The long details of household chores in the beginning of the book was a bad start to me. And then to chan...

This is one of the best books I have read all year. This book takes place in the servants quarters of Longbourn. As a fan of Pride and Prejudice, I try not to read any sequels. This book is not a sequel to P&P. Instead it runs concurrently with P & P. It is the story of the servants. Mr. and M...

Oh dear, I should have listened to myself when I vowed not to read novels with Jane Austen's characters in them, it only leads to disappointment. I love Pride and Prejudice and the characters in it are very dear to me. I was hoping that this novel would finally be the one to do justice to Austen's c...

And work they do, in all weather and at any and all times.The servants in Longbourn are not mistreated ...
