Lovely!!!!! This is my least favorite of the four she's written so far, but it is still spectacular. I feel as though I am reading Jane Austen. Bebris writes in her voice and cleverly starts each chapter with a quote from P&P that fits the chapter. It is everything I always wanted in a novel. It is Jane with mystery and love story. Unlike many other rewrites of Austen (most notable Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife), this is not a trashy romance that has lost all characteristics of Austen. Instead, it is a faithful extension of what may have been.
