Delightful read

I loved the way this book was written as a series of letters from character to character to give you the full story, and I'm surprised this work isn't more well known. The epilogue wraps things up, but not quite naturally. One must remember, however, that this was never a published book by Austen (it was published posthumously) - in fact, this was one of her earlier works which she wrote before she was a published author. It is an unusual work, and different from the later Austen novels. I recommend this short work, and believe Janeites and non-Janeites alike will enjoy this book.
