 I love this story, Austen's humour really shines through from the first line to the last. Following Catherine was a delight, and Henry is further cementing my conplete adoration of Austen heroes and the narrator putting themself into the story, is my favourite.

I loved her youthfulness, her love of stories and her growth. And that it follows a different trajectory then many of Austen's stories.
