If you are a fan of Jane Austen, I would say that you would enjoy this book.  Another reviewer said that the pace was slow and I agree. However, this is a true mark of the era. There were no televisions,telephones, or video games to distract from reading, so books were long and were not fast paced. The writing was true to form and historically accurate. I won't give a synopsis as that has already been done. The only drawback for me was the constant parentheses throughout the book. Here is an example:  I really enjoyed this book( though it took me longer than I expected to read it) as it was written on the style of Jane Austen ( who is arguably one of the best writers of all time) and I hope to see more of this author (who has an excellent chance of surpassing her counterparts).I must say that was irritating,but not enough to take away from the storyline.
