Title: I don't think so . . .
Product review: This is a book for a romance novel reader, not for a true Jane Austen afficionado. The first half is all sex and the seemy brutality of the period while the second half is all Darcy chasing across France after his sister. In all of Jane Austen's books, the action is of the drawing room, ballroom, and formal gardens. Other events (seductions, pregnancy, birth, illegitimacy abandonment, duels, death) are merely mentioned. Elizabeth is a dope, Jane is a dupe, Bingly is a dud, and Darcy is dull. Who really wants to envision Darcy sitting on his bed and peeing into a chamber pot while Elizabeth looks on admiringly?
