This book was not awful - but your enjoyment of it will depend entirely on how much you love Jane Austen's Mansfield Park. If it's one of your favorite novels, you'll probably like many aspects of this contemporary retelling. On my park, Mansfield Park is one of my least favorite (I could never get over that the hero and heroine are first cousins, no matter that it was "what one did then"). In this book, of course, they are NOT cousins (which would be awkward, would it not?), but still I've never identified well with Fanny who often comes off as being too perfect. But again, if you love Mansfield Park, I would give this novel a moderate recommendation.
