7. It's holding up pretty well

And there are no mobile phones in it - I think they are disastrous for plot.

It's probably a transatlantic cultural thing - I think I got all the references in "The Feast". One of the recommendations on the cover of my copy reads "'The miniature charm of a Baby Austen.' - The Observer". Unless you're my age or older, and British, you probably have no chance of realising that this is a terrific pun.
