Loved it too!
Those are my favorites, I think because she captures the tone and language best.
I agree Melissa, she does capture the language best and I keep hoping for a Georgiana spin off from these books.
These were definitely the best! But did anyone else sometimes feel like Darcy's character was too cheesy? How he kept those threads from Elizabeth's stitching, etc? Do you think guys actually do that kind of stuff?
I did think he was almost written with a more feminine slant at some parts. I'm not familiar enough with the time period to know if that's a fault of a female writer or a reflection of the times. I do remember reading Frankenstein and Dracula and thinking the men in them were portrayed as surprisingly feminine, from a 21st century perspective. Gender roles just shift so much from century to century, it makes it difficult to tell in a historical or period novel what was normal and what was an action outside of then accepted gender roles.
