This book was another great Pride and Prejudice Variation by Elizabeth Adams. I loved seeing how things changed and the way all the characters developed as a result of the changes made within the story as well as how the various relationships developed. I also liked that there was an epilogue at the end although I would not have minded it being a bit longer. I hope to be able to read more Austenesque books by this author.
I didn’t really like the settings of this book - they seemed rather unreasonable and Mr. Bennet’s change of behavior felt highly unlikely to me.
E&D story develops in leaps and bounds - sometimes the narrative is painstakingly slow and sometimes there is not enough logic in plot advancing scenes. J&B storyline is told in few hardly connected scenes and doesn’t mesh well with the rest of the story.
The good part is the decent level of language and editing.
