It’s surprisingly true to the original – the updated version follows Jane Austen’s plot very closely, and part of the pleasure of reading is tracing the plot of the original book.
But in fact I did mostly enjoy it I got very involved in it and found much of it a pleasurable read. I must admit I wasn’t expecting to enjoy the book as I thought it might be trite and spoil the original. An enforced spell of rest means I am doing quite a lot of reading, so I’ve just finished Val McDermid’s Northanger Abbey, the second of the Austen Project books in which the novels of Jane Austen are given a contemporary setting by well-known writers.
