I just finished this book. I loved it! It is very rare to come upon
a book that makes you forget that the characters are not real and that
the writing is fiction. I fell in love with the Literary Society and
found myself yearning to join and be a part of their group. I want to be
Juliet Ashton she is clever and charming, sensitive and smart. I loved
seeing things through her eyes.
My favorite part was the
second to the last paragraph in the book where she is writing a letter
to her friend Sidney and she says “Is it unseemly to get married so
quickly? I don’t want to wait – I want to begin at once. All my life I
thought that the story was over when the hero and heroine were safely
engaged – after all, what’s good enough for Jane Austen ought to be good
enough for anyone. But it’s a lie. The story is about to begin, and
every day will be a new piece of the plot.” I loved this because it was
exactly how I felt when I married my husband after only knowing him for 3
months. He has 5 kids (making a grand total of 9) and everyone thought I
was crazy. But I knew it was right and I went for it. It was the best
decision I have ever made in my entire 36 years of life.
I will be giving this book as gifts to anyone and everyone I can think of.
