What I personally like about Jane Austen stories are the sketches of quiet landed life in the early 19th century they provide, and this book draws them out particularly well. For me it is a welcome escape, but I wouldn't be surprised if it seemed a bit boring to someone else.
I'm a bit worried about the moral of the story though. There seems to be this island of proper breeding in Mansfield Park, and everyone outside it is wanting.
