I own all Abigail Reynold's adaptations and am a huge fan.  This one definitely is a departure from Darcy, Elizabeth, Mr. Bennet and even Georgianna's characters as we have all grown to know and love.  Still, I enjoyed this clever take on what could have happened if.  My favorite line in the book occurs in Chapter 3 when Darcy brings Bingley to see Jane in London:  " 'Miss Bennet, it was not generous of me.  I wanted to give you all that is mine, but to my misfortune, I discovered that I only possessed two things which you wanted: another chance for Mr. Bingley and your sister, and a book.' ... His voice carried finality as he raised her hand to his lips and kissed it lightly, trying to store the sensation to memory." Abigail Reynold's is a master at toying with our romantic sensibilities and this courageous departure from the original novel has much to recommend.
