Jo Baker didn't hesitate to hide away from the darker aspects of the period, and gave the pride and prejudice characters twists which was intriguing.
I felt the first two parts were strongest and the third fell a little by the wayside. The flashback scenes felt a little out of place and I think would've had a stronger impact if Mrs Hill and James had spoken to Sarah about their pasts, thus creating a stronger emotional bond between the characters. It was nice to read the wrap up of the characters at the end and to know how all the characters turn out.
Moderate: War, Pedophilia, Pregnancy, Sexual assault, Animal death, Death, Injury/Injury detail, Racial slurs, Blood, and Slavery
