Title: nicely crafted and well researched
Product review: The authors have clearly delivered a thoughtfully crafted tale, consistent with the history and customs and class and sexual politics of the times. However, it lacks shine and wit for my taste. I miss the delightful and droll humor of Jane Austen, often causing me to laugh out loud after 2-3 pages of dialogue building to an understated punch. For those who love the P&P characters, they are here; as are their times. For those who love Jane Austen's writing gift, alas, it is lacking.
