As a huge fan of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice I have one question for Emma Tennant- WHAT WERE YOU THINKING! You have turned the character of Elizabeth Bennet, who we all love for her confidence and out-spoken manner into someone unrecognisable. She is constantly second guessing herself and has lost the passion of her convictions. Not only that but Georgiana has been turned from a shy, intelligent young lady who dislikes Miss Bingley intensley into a spiteful and over proud lady who hangs on miss Bingley's every word and shows no respect for her sister-in-law who she once greatly admired. Sadly I found the characters and storyline unbelievable!

This book was a huge disappointment to me. I hoped to have some sort of interesting continuation of Pride and Prejudice where you understood how Lizzie had settled in to Pemberley. Instead you got a modern 'bonkbuster' mindset which talks about vaginal douches etc at the dinner table. Mr Darcy's character is ruined, as is Elizabeth's. I felt disappointed I had read this book as it coloured how I felt about the original. Emma Tennant should have left well alone.

The style of the book was very much like that of the original, but it was all so depressing! After the fairytale love affair between Darcy and Elizabeth, in this book it all seems to go wrong, and Mr Darcy is portrayed as being proud, adn un-loving yet again. I was deeply vexed by the nature of this book, as it is such an anti-climax to the wonderful ending of Pride and prejudice. If you want to find out whether Elizabeth is happy in her new marriage, then don't read this book, as you will be dissapointed!

Rubbish.
The characters are as different as possible from the original. The writing style is insipid and the grammer is atrocious.
Not only that, but the ending is horrid. Read more
