Customer Reviews

Wasn't expecting too much but was pleasantly surprised
I really enjoyed this book. I loved how dynamic Miss Moorland was, she seemed to be so normal and everyday. I could identify with her self doubts and getting herself into awkward situations and her runaway imagination. I thought it was interesting that the love interest was a very secondary character and the book whereas the female relationships were followed and scrutinized closely which was refreshing. Catherine felt more of a Bridget Jones character than Elizabeth Bennet whom I have read she is based on.

Would highly recommend this book, takes a while to get into the language but once you have set you ears you can pick up speed.
