I really enjoyed this book. The family she worked for was very interesting. I found myself laughing at some of the comments they made to each other from the very beginning of the book. I also found myself disliking her friend, Sheila. Overall, it was a very good read and I will be on the lookout for more by this author.

In a word, this book was "Lovely" - that's the word that immediately popped to mind when I finished it. Fun story, good characters, and a different setting for Pride & Prejudice.

I think the one thing that kept going through my mind was this: If these people are involved in a production of P&P, and the characters themselves comment on how like their roles they actually are, why don't they find it strange/weird/funny that their lives are imitating the P&P story? Yes, fiction, I get it.… (more)

So this one is going to be donated. I liked it but reading it felt wrong. This is one of those books I should really read in English because the dutch translation is rubbish not very good.

A better than many re-tell of P&P with less straining to make details fit and more going for the effects the protagonists have on each other. Set in 2000 London in a jornalism+theater milieu, it has a few zingers, though the end is a bit of limp mess.
