It's Austen; her most disagreeable is better than many peoples best. I have read this before and remembered it wasn't my favorite. This read really annoyed me! I've never liked Fanny as a "heroine", but I think I had more sympathy for her this time because the people in positions of power were so awful! Really, there's not one truly likeable character. But the writing is excellent. The ending is abrupt after that long, drawn out book though. I did enjoy this audiobook version!
