The ghost aspect of the story is compelling and entertaining. Elizabeth dealing with them makes a wonderful story. But besides E’s awkward secret & refusing to tell Darcy, what makes me most uncomfortable is how she has been married a week, and she has not had one good conversation with her husband on anything, she’s checked out and is mentally absent from her marriage (!!), almost like playing her husband

<< “I see dead people,” she said. >>
After all the buildup, after all the promises to talk to her husband and Elizabeth’s convoluted reluctance; at the worst possible moment, at the cusp of expectation ahead of a well attended ball at Pemberley, Elizabeth’s BIG CONFESSION is a total let-down.

Elizabeth is married to Pemberley’s secrets, not to a husband; she spends zero time with Darcy, they are never alone, they don’t speak, don’t have any affection or intimacy, and apparently they seldom meet at night — Elizabeth has been avoiding telling him “her secret”, and from one failed attempt to do it, days and days pass by without any opportunity to resume a conversation. Incredible !

At any point if something happens, a talk, a revelation, whatever might be, the subsequent chapter consists of Elizabeth pondering, rehashing, recalling and paraphrasing — it’s redundant and it slows the narration considerably.

Some repetition from the start >> how Elizabeth has been seeing ghosts all her life, it’s revisited 100 times in different phrasings; then the oppressive feeling of an angry ghost at Pemberley, a bit tedious…
And the worst repetitive part of all; how Elizabeth wants to tell her secrets to her husband, but she CAN’T for several made-up reasons [ eye roll ] — it becomes boring quickly !
