    <body><![CDATA[I don't quite know what to say about this book.  I enjoyed it, even though it made me slightly uncomfortable.  I was afraid to accuse anything in it of being &quot;un-Austen&quot; because I don't know exactly what Jane Austen's contribution was to the book.  I don't know if there were passages that Joan Aiken worked into the book, or if the structure/plot had been noted out by Jane Austen and Aiken filled things in, or whether Austen wrote the first three pages or eight chapters or what.  So I was afraid to say &quot;That would NEVER happen in a Jane Austen novel!&quot; in case that was a part that Jane actually wrote.  That said, it was much more Austeny than most of the Austen-&quot;sequels&quot; I've read.<br/><br/>Overall, I liked the book, and I think I might have liked it more if I weren't constantly hunting for Jane Austen in it.]]></body>
