I loved the dialogue and characters here. Sure, it’s not Pride and Prej, there’s no Elizabeth and Darcy love story. But this is a real tribute to the drawing-room dialogue we love in Austen novels. There’s a whole manners novel here in the shades of behavior, and there’s so much to enjoy in the subtle (and not-so-subtle) remarks about other characters who’ve left the room for a moment.
