The central character of this book, Georgina Jackson, is so annoying that I was tempted to just put this book down and move on. But something kept me going on and in the end I am glad I did. There are some wonderful passages, astute insights into Jane Austen's life, some delightful supporting characters, particularly Henry and Maud -- Georgina's landlord and his 14-year-old sister, and ultimately this is an illuminating book about the process of creating a work of fiction. This book does have problems, but I think once you get past them there is a decent read here.
