There are many P&P record out there; most are all right--like a Little Debbie's cake when you want a sweet but nothing like the full meal that is Jane Austen. The best thing about this one is subtle way the story incorporates the P&P highlights while becoming a good novel in its own right. Set in Toronto, Fanny Bowers Puts Herself Out There, gives a young woman who hasn't found her place in the world and is gamely trying to become more socially adept when she spills wine on her boss's boss shoes.  Fanny, unlike Elizabeth Bennet, can't one for a quick come back but she does make an impression. Not quite mayhem ensues as Fanny realises  how she best fits into the world and what a good thing that is.
