Baseball spoken here
The highlight of the novel, for me, was the mention of baseball in the first chapter! I didn't know the game existed in England in Austen's time, let alone imagine one of her heroines playing it.

A delightful satire on gothic romance, full of of wit and love for the genre - for only a connoisseur would know its tropes, merits and flaws so well as to construct such a tale.
