Jane Austen's England never sounded like this!!!
Revisado: 11-24-11
It was a brilliant historical fiction novel describing the underbelly world of London in the 1870's. Few novell I have read have the courage to describe the hidden world of London beyond St James, Hyde Park and Whitehall. As an avid Jane Austen fan, I could not help thinking that this is how she would have written about her own time if propriety had allowed her to do so.
