Mr. Knightly's Diary

Easily Recommend

Over spring break my teenage daughter and I watched a lot of Jane Austen and similar type movies that she hadn't seen before.

One day she chose to watch 2 versions of Emma back to back.  With them fresh on my mind I figured it would be a good time to read this.

I wasn't as intrigued by it as I had been with Captain Wentworth's but it was still very good and very clean.

Captain Wentworth's Diary

PG

Probably Recommend

Until now I have steered clear of all the altered Austen reproduction novels.

However, this book came into my possession and I quite enjoyed it!

It thought it was fun to see more of Anne and Frederick's relationship before 'Persuasion' picks it up...and from his point of view to boot.

There were a few instances of unappreciated language {L} toward the end that were easy to scribble out so that I can feel comfortable lending it to others.  And, as I recall, there might have also been one or two {UM} but nothing too serious.

I look forward to reading the rest of Grange's gentlemenly diaries.
