Longbourn

it was weird to read it, as if we were hidden in Jane Austen's closet (or under a petticoat). then when I got used to it, I thought it was sweet, lyrical and interesting, even if not life-changing. At times the narrative is messy, and I tried not to be biased but the Bennett family seemed such nasty people to their servants - wonder if it was my reading or the author's intentions. Honestly, for the sake of Austen, let us stick to the real thing. And as far as period novels go, guess it was just ok.
