4.5 stars
A completely pleasurable read! Jo Baker's beautiful, meandering prose smartly echoes Austen's, and reading the "other half" of the Bennets' story was a delight. The novel's only shortcoming, to me, was that I felt Sarah's character was not quite fully developed...I wanted to understand her just a bit more. But overall, highly recommended, and indispensable to all Austen devotees.
