"downstairs" Longbourn

Published by CSalmon , 1 year ago
As others have mentioned, this looks at the Pride and Prejudice Bennet family from the perspective of their servants. Interesting interweaving of stories.

Not my favorite

Published by KimF. , 2 years ago
Honestly I only got half way through when I decoded to stop reading it. In mu oppinion it became inappropriate and left the "proper romance" section. It was slow moving and hard to stay interested in. I would recommend reading "Evelina" by Frances Burney, North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell or some similar works if you want something to compete with Pride and Prejudice. Pass on this all to modern comparison if it was my oppinion.
