Your character descriptions are reminding me of Mr. Collins, who takes Pride and Prejudice to the next level.
I have added Ms. Eden's book to my list of things to read. I could really use some lighter reading these days--I've been stuck in the middle of a somewhat dreary work of nonfiction for about the past six months (Small is Beautiful, by E.M. Schumacher--on economic theory). I'm trying to read as fast as I can so I can finish the thing and move on to more exciting material. I picked up two books at Powell's after we finished riding our bicycles there, and they're tempting me like nothing else.
