I have always loved reading Jane Austen and as I hadn't read this book I decided to join in. I managed to find a second hand copy on Amazon and threw it in my suitcase to take on holiday.
Did I enjoy it? Yes.
Did I notice where 'Another Lady' took over? No. However, having said that I don't know if it was because I had got back into the 'Jane Austen' style by Chapter 11 (when Another Lady took over) or whether it was because her style was slightly different, but I did find that I enjoyed the book much more from then on.
It was very much in the Jane Austen style and although I haven't read her for a few years I really enjoyed the plot and the characters - in fact I became very engaged with the characters and wanted the heroine to find her hero and the villain to get his come upppance. Whether they did nor not I will not tell, just in case you want to read it too!
If you fancy looking on Instagram for comments about the book then these are the hashtags:
And on that note, if you do fancy reading this then let me know and the first person to ask for it I will 'sanditonalong' (see what I did theree!!) to you in the post - UK only though I am afraid as it is a hard back so to post abroad will be prohibitive!
I enjoyed it too - I definitely think the Other Lady took a few modern liberties - but it was a good read all round. And - yes - it's a shame she got to do all the fun parts when Austen had to do all the setting up!
ReplyDeleteI hope someone takes you up on your offer to pass the book along. Thanks for joining in and sharing!
