Longbourn by Jo Baker Book Summary

A NEW YORK TIMES BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR • “Fans of Austen...will take particular pleasure” (People) in this irresistibly imagined belowstairs answer to Pride and Prejudice.

While Elizabeth Bennet and her sisters fuss over balls and husbands, Sarah, their orphaned housemaid, is beginning to chafe against the boundaries of her class. When a new footman arrives at Longbourn under mysterious circumstances, the carefully choreographed world she has known all her life threatens to be completely, perhaps irrevocably, upended.

Mentioned only fleetingly in Jane Austen’s classic, here Jo Baker dares to take us beyond the drawing rooms of Regency England and, in doing so, uncovers the real world of the novel that has captivated readers’ hearts around the world for generations.

Longbourn. This is a slow-moving story built around the "downstairs" people. You need to be patient while reading as nothing very much happens during most of the first half of the book. It is, however, interesting reading about the daily lives & duties of these hard working characters & you do get to know their personalities along the way. Plot development is slow, but the writing is descriptive and fascinating. It's a good read as long as you don't expect a lot of drama.

Very Good.. Very good book. I really enjoyed it. I cried at the end, not because it was sad, but because it was so very bittersweet and tugged at my heart strings. Read it: it’s good!! ☺️

Longbourn. This is a finely written story. Ms. Baker descriptive skills are nuanced, encouraging one's imagination to flourish.

... wow. it looks like a straighforward copy or atleast the idea is taken from downtown abbey!!

Fascinating. I loved seeing inside the Bennet household from the viewpoint of the house staff. The book was meticulously researched to reflect accurately the details of the period. I will never again read Austen without thinking about all those others lurking in the wings but not on stage.

Shame on Baker. Ms. Baker made a great deal of money off of Jane Austin. It is as of she either did not read Pride and Prejudice or has no respect for Austin's characters. Elizabeth becomes superficial and weak, Mr. Bennett is distracted with affairs rather than books, and Mrs. Bennett abuses Laudanum for so many years that she would have become an addict or overdosed. I am shocked this book received any positive notices or respect.
