My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book is everything I needed in a book right now - good characters, a small English village, love and loss and triumph of the human soul. In essence, this book is a love letter to Jane Austen and the affect books, specifically her books, can have on a person's life. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the way that good ultimately wins the day just as Austen would have wanted.
Happy reading--
ps. I think you do need to at least like Austen to like this book, though you do not need to have read all her books. A cursory knowledge is enough, but knowing the characters of Austen's most popular novels will enhance the characterization that Jenner creates.
