This is a book in which nothing much happens. It's sort of a narrative on the minutiae of the everyday life of a family (The Darcy's), their close relations, and their friends (the Collinses feature prominently). There is no high drama and what little happens is easily resolved. The book starts at one random moment and ends on another and, in between, you get a glimpse at the lives and feelings of a group of people you care about.One would be justified in supposing that a book such as this would be boring to read. Surprisingly enough, it isn't. It does keep you entertained; it provides intelligent and very human viewpoints and insights; it has a certain originality in its presentation of known and assumed facts; and is, generally, well written.
