This book is all about Mr Darcy's hoping to see Elizabeth smile, hoping to see Elizabeth dance, hoping to run into Elizabeth again, bla bla bla. I expected the dialog to be old fashoned too, but it's not. The author tried and at least partially succeeded in sentance structure and word choice, but the more you read, the more you notice the author's limitations in Austin-style writing. Maybe she deliberatly avoided an Austin imitation, but I would have enjoyed this book more had it been in Austin language. I agree with one of the comments made below: this book is basically a reideration of the original; there is not a lot of creativity on the author's part so you might as well just read Pride and Prejudice.

Author does not do a good job of making the book flow. I found it confusing at times who was speaking and when the narration was taking place.
