I have read Austen so many times! (former librarian) I have looked forward to each Austen sequel with eagerness only to be let down – until now! I have read this book three times – first time for the pure fun of the read, the second time to get into how cleverly this was plotted and the third time I delved into how the language was used and THIS is where I think this book shines. When I read a Jane Austen sequel even when the plots are very good they are either too racy, or there is something off in the behavior but what really hits a snag with me is that they just don’t “sound” like JA – I am tempted to splurge on the audio because I would really love to hear it.

I really want to read this book and I am really glad that you liked it so much! I have read many good reviews and have already added it to my wish list. Thanks! .-= zibilee´s last blog ..Replacement Child by Judy Mandel - 256 pgs =-.

I love historical fiction and this sounds like a lovely read. I totally agree with what you said about not reading the original first - it can really taint the way you see the book. I don't like comparing books, I feel like they should be able to stand on their own and be enjoyed for their own merits. That being said, great review. .-= Jennifer´s last blog ..Movie Review: New Moon =-.

I loved Lady Susan (the Jane Austen novella), and I highly recommend it. I don't think I will go for this one however, I fear I may end up diluting my enjoyment of Lady Susan. Great review, though, and it's nice to see that some of JA's lesser known works are also coming into focus .-= Nish´s last blog ..Certain Girls – A Book Review with Some Mild Spoilers =-.

I've come to enjoy historical fiction, but have shied away from that time period for some reason. I really do need to try one of those books. Glad you enjoyed this one. .-= Kathy´s last blog ..The Twelve Days of Christmas Cookies – Day 12 =-.
