Skip this thing, even if you are a Jane Austen Maxi-Groupie!!  I was so disappointed I wanted to cry for wasting 20 minutes of my life trying to figure out this book.First of all, it tells us that we will look "behind the doors" of a middle-class Regency home such as the one Jane Austen lived in.  To that end, the author gives us a floor plan of the main floor public areas and the upper floor sleeping rooms.  Fine and dandy.  Then she tells us what each room on the main floor is for and what activities take place in these rooms.  Even though the writing is 5th grade-level I'm still interested.  In between she quotes passages from various Austen books that (in her mind) relate to the room she is talking about.  AND THEN, I get to the end of a page where she is describing the kitchen and that page is repeated over and over and over and over again for at least 80 pages!!!  I manage to page through the repeats and finally that chapter ends. AND THEN, it's the end of the book!!!  The author never gets to the upper floors to tell  us about the sleeping/nursery arrangements, which was the floor I was most interested in to begin with.  It just ends with a "thank you for reading my book" from the author.  Crazy time.Now, I am well aware that some of these free Kindle books have problems with paging, continuity, etc. and maybe in the future this one will be cleaned up but, until then, stay away from this book.  Even though it was free when I got it, it wasn't worth the aggravation. I am not a happy camper right now.
