I am interested in this book, but as a true lover of Austen, I don't want it to diminish Sense and Sensibility for me. I am a purist (one that will first read the novels, then only watch the BBC versions of the films :))...

Has anyone read this? Any comments (please, without spoilers). Looking for true literary criticisms (of both ilks)

Thanks so very much for the link, Tammy. I bookmarked it for my lunch hour :) It's a rainy day, and I've brought a nice meal, so I think I'll sit and take it all in!

February Violet,
I visit a website/blog that is dedicated to Jane Austen. She does book reviews, etc. I believe I saw an entry on Willoubhy. Here is the link. I enjoy this site a great deal. Thought you might enjoy it as well.
here is the link to Jane Austen Today

Tammy, it looks like you and me, kid! Well, and our two law clerks (both a history and an english major). We discussed this at length yesterday while here at the office and I was also informed of some sequels from the view of Mr. Darcy.

I guess there is much to explore!

I have been wondering about that too...I am a true lover and so I approach sequels and things with a bit of caution. But I have read many good ones for Pride and prejudice and so I too would love to hear if anyone has read it as well.
