Helpful Score: 1
I thought the book was not up to the previous books of Jane Austen. It was a slow read and never really kept my attention.

This novel is a continuation of the fragment Jane Austen left unfinished at her death. It has recently been dramatized in Britain by Andrew Davies, who took the story in some sensationalistic directions which you won't find in this version by Jane Austen and Another Lady. (The other lady was Marie Catton Dobbs.)
At the point at which Austen left off (end of Chapter 11), she had barely set up the characters and situation. Later writers had to think up a plot and decide how the characters evolved. Some did it better than others. This one is more Austen-like than most. It has little in common with the TV series, so don't expect the same happenings or the onscreen sexuality of the TV series. It's an interesting read and one can only wonder what it would have been like if Austen had lived to finish it.
