This was a cute sequel to Pride and Prejudice. I seem to be reading a lot of those books these days. This one in particular was short and sweet as could be. However, I thought Kitty's transformation from silly girl, soldier-chaser to intelligent and sweet, mature husband-pleaser happened altogether too abruptly.

Well-written but sad -- and fairly boring to read which explains the 2 stars I am giving it. I felt bad for the protagonist Maria - caught between her two (in my opinion) selfish parents and their worlds. I was hoping this book would draw me in like "The House on Mango Street" by Sandra Cisneros has, but it didn't. I felt glad when I finished reading it. It was written in a very lyrical, poetic style and I did like that about it....more
