This is so over the top, it's pretty much a parody of Austen-like romances, but I have to say, it's also so well done that it's enormously entertaining. Between the ridiculous naming conventions (Mr. Godalming, Miss Le Strange, the setting of Lesser Hoo in Yorkshire), the mild scheming involved in the romantic comedy of manners (Miss Pffolliott's adoption of a terrifying friendly dog to escape a suitor, Miss Franklin's sabotaging of her own work to pay back a theft) and the sheer unadulterated happy endings, it would be a pity to miss this one.
