Enjoyable read, it was a lovely style of writing, very comforting to read somehow. The eight main characters could only truly see themselves using Jane Austen’s work and it played very well. The only disappointment I had was that Adam Berwick was suddenly an heir (but did not use it) and was alone when he and Mimi had had such a connection. I also felt uncomfortable with Adeline and Dr Gray’s romantic relationship, with such an age gap and imbalance, particularly as he had watched her grow up.Moderate: Addiction, Miscarriage, Pregnancy, Rape, and Sexual assault
Minor: War and Suicide
