Title: Desire and Duty
Product review: A gentle and genteel book which I found to be very enjoyable. The authors undertook the complex task of creating a believable sequel to Austen's book and did an admirable job, in my estimation. I don't claim to be a self appointed 'expert'in Austen's work; I am, in fact, an average book lover who enjoys a good read. I especially enjoy the efforts of authors who work hard to ensure the authenticity of a work set in times past. It is easy to weave a story by plowing new ground; quite another to attempt to remain true to an admired writer who's works have been examined for generations. I say bravo to the authors and I await the movie possibilities with hope.
