I'm a little shocked that anyone would describe this book as 'sophmoric', but did read that in a review. I found it more along the lines of "Gone With The Wind". Take Austen's style and add sex and high drama. All intimacy is handled under enough flowery vocabulary to assure the reader has to check twice to understand what really happened!! It was quite a ride and certainly a romp by the time I got through this book but I have to say it made me laugh outloud in various places. It was also extremely poignant and sad. This story will be hard to stomach for any true Austen-ite but it's a good read. Her attention to detail is phenomenal and she breathes more life into the characters with far more literary license!
