Impressed from the first paragraph.
The book gives a brief hint of what went before in a short preface then launches into the main story.
The author describes Charlotte and Mr Collin's grief at losing their youngest child, a son, extremely well. Slightly later Charlotte realises the implications of only having daughters and realises she needs to try to do something about this.
An intriguing start. Having read Pride and Prejudice and other related books I am really interested to see how Charlotte's life progresses.
