I loved the beginning of the book which was a recap of P&P in the eyes of the Bennet's neighbors but after that it all went downhill into a slurry of Darcy-Lizzy insipidity from which I emerged gasping for strong drink. The mystery--such as it is...more

Fabulous book, beautifully written. Yes, she's a friend, but I never thought I'd like a southern/women's fiction book ever, so I'm happy to say I really loved this book for its own merits. Buy it. It's great.

Interesting that a book that got so much wrong could also get so much right ... loved the burgeoning relationship between h/h but in a historical the devil IS in the details and so much was so hair raisingly wrong.

I do find unclothed men interesting, I must admit.
Which one do you think has the best arse? I ask before I can stop myself.”
