Has anyone else read this? This was PD James last novel before she died and she imagined the next phase of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice , with a suitably murder mystery twist. So far so good, she has the meticulous delicacy of Austen with some 21st century concern for the servants that made their effortless lives possible , but the thing that really blows me away, is that she was 90 when she wrote it!

I worry every day about loosing bits of the brain I used to take so much for granted, but reading such elegant prose from a 90 year old is deliciously heartening!

Ok so no one was reading this one, and frankly I am not surprised, not her best, though when you consider how old she was when she wrote it, it is pretty damn good.

Has anyone read any Alain de botton ? I have ordered a heap from Amazon, which should I read first?
