Helpful Score: 2
Does anyone really think that Mr. Darcy and his wife Elizabeth could raise daughters as frivolous as her younger sisters and as unthinking as her mother?
as other reviewers have noted this book is a re-telling of Pride and Prejudice, but why bother? the original book is ever-so-much better, and does not insult the the reader (by thinking that s/he has not read Pride) or Jane Austen (who wrote the original telling) or the characters of Pride (who would be mortified to think that anyone would believe they could raise such idiots for children).
The book manages to do all three. Jane Austen would not approve.
