Thoughts on reading Persuasion

Bath is basically regency Butlins.

Or, given the blend of both social stratification and social mixing, a cruise ship. Mrs Smith's interior cabin is below the waterline and she can't afford the entertainment/extras, but she knows the entire housekeeping staff.

I just finished reading Northanger Abbey by Val McDermid (better known for gritty mystery procedurals). It's a modern-day retelling, with the first part set at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival with family friends rather than at Bath. I quite enjoyed it.

I normally run away from pro published retellings, but the combination of Bath = Edinburgh Fringe, and Val McDermid sounds like this one could be much more than most giving a try! I see the library has it.
