Helpful Score: 3
I dont really know what possessed me to pick up this book, probably the fantastic cover art, the aspect of time travel and the era in which the story takes place. Alas, that is where my love for this book ends. I have not actually read a Jane Austen (I have seen all the movies) maybe I would have appreciated the novel more if I was armed with such an arsenal.
The tempo of the novel was tedious. The author spends the majority of the short book 288 pages, talking about getting back to her time, the lack of make-up, bathing and the fopa that is empire wasted dresses.
There is no true sense of resolution either. And that more than anything makes me want to throw the book against the wall. Did the heroin get back to her time? Who is in Whos body, did they ever exchange bodies or was the entire thing a dream???
I did read every page so it cant be that bad. And now I do want to read a Jane Austen. So off I go to the library. Maybe it will change my tune.
