If you are expecting great literature in the vein of Jane Austen herself, then don't read this book. If you have a whimsical interest in the "what ifs" of what life could be like at Pemberley after the wedding, along with a great love of mystery, then read it TODAY! Loosely written in the style of Jane Austen (some long-winded and tedious details of emotion and scenery), this story has many twists and turns that finally come to an end you could not possibly perceive in the beginning! It's meant to be a light-hearted return to the beloved characters from Pride and Prejudice with a little Emma thrown in for good measure... really, Emma meets Pride and Prejudice... love it! So get a good cup of tea and curl up for an entertaining ride through the woodlands of Pemberly. It's like a reunion of old friends! Don't take it too seriously and enjoy!
