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)

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.

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!

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

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!
