![]() While, according to Amazon, only 354 pages long, at times it seemed interminable in its misery and solemnity. With fond, though sparse memories of it, when I had no idea what to read, I decided to give it another go. ![]() I read Longbourn once before, back when it was first released. Mentioned only fleetingly in Jane Austen’s classic, here Jo Baker dares to take us beyond the drawing rooms of Regency England and, in doing so, uncovers the real world of the novel that has captivated readers’ hearts around the world for generations. When a new footman arrives at Longbourn under mysterious circumstances, the carefully choreographed world she has known all her life threatens to be completely, perhaps irrevocably, upended. ![]() While Elizabeth Bennet and her sisters fuss over balls and husbands, Sarah, their orphaned housemaid, is beginning to chafe against the boundaries of her class. Genres: Historical Fiction, Regency Fiction ![]()
