It's not 'real' Jane Austen and it's not a very interesting historical romance on its own. I found the faux scholarly introduction and footnote stuff to be just annoying. This isn't a terrible book, but it might best be enjoyed by someone who hasn't read Austen's novels. I expect many people, including the author, thought it very clever to work in so many bits that are reminiscent of scenes in genuine Austen novels, but it just made me tired.
