Mansfield Park Revisited

Sequel to Mansfield Park, not by Jane Austin, called Mansfield Park Revisited. Fanny and Edward (main characters in Austin's book) are settling business in the West Indies for Edward's now deceased father. They have 2 kids. Susan - Fanny's younger sister - is now running things since Tom is always away. The book is supposed to explain how Susan and Tom end up together, but it goes in circles. There is no Austin romance about it. Aiken's writing is the closest to Austin I've read, but it fell short. All in all, I say: SKIP IT and just use your imagination.
