" The lower rating is purely due to the fact that I did not enjoy this book as much as I did the last. This was because I really did not appreciate Katherine's attitude. The usual 'I want to marry for love instead of duty, because marrying for duty would be so awful and I would be so unhappy' stuff. Its not as if nobody ever had a happy arranged marriage. Also, the depiction of Aunt Louisa was not entirely fair in this context, she was only trying to keep a promise she made to her sister after all.
It was a far story, just not a favourite. Narration was good.
