I am now part-way through the first book. It's very well-written, save for the said-phobia of so many American writers (didn't she notice that Austen had no problem with that innocent little word, and would never have used "intoned" or "offered"?) and poor editing, if any at all (apostrophes in random plurals, and other typos). Nevertheless, I am very much enjoying Darcy and his reaction to the appalling Bingley sisters. I'd wondered why he didn't reprove their rudeness, but that he felt constrained not to as a guest makes a lot of sense.

My library has the other two, so I shall work my way through them. I'm especially looking forward to the middle one when he's so absent in P&P, so will be able to do strike off in unexpected directions.
