This is definitely a good book. Unfortunately, I'm in a mood right now that involves me not paying it as much of attention (not the book's fault by any means, just my fluctuating attention span). Anyway, I might go back to this book and actually finish it maybe.
Ormiston's knowledge of Regency-era vocabulary and social background pleased me. They are her most notable accomplishments. She creates strong, lovable characterizations that reflect a keen comprehension of Austen's characters. Some readers may be relieved to learn that the love tension was kept alive almost until the final page. While I like her broad vocabulary, I noticed her pacing a bit off. Scenes were too long at times, which slowed my interest, and her decision to spend two-thirds of the novel in the Bennets' drawing-room was as agonizing for Darcy as it was for me.
This is a novel that is both sophisticated and engaging, as well as romantic. Certain parts will irritate you, while others will compel you to continue. It is the display of these dichotomies that makes for memorable storytelling. This one will stick with you for a long time.
