Other than making fun of her, she was pretty much ignored.<br /><br />Kathy--Darling Jim does look good!<br /><br />Kristen--All the Austen "take-offs" that I've read always assume that everyone lives happily ever after. I thought it might be interesting to read one where that's not the case.<br /><br />Dorte--Thanks for your input!<br /><br />Nise and Belle--Happily ever after for Jane seems to be one of our most cherished visions, doesn't it? :)<br /><br />Jenny--I'm sure he is.

Yet. I've been very tempted to get the Colleen McCullough book because she's a great Aussie writer and it does look interesting (although I generally don't enjoy it when new people take on existing authors' characters).Bernadettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641617609801125707noreply@blogger.com
