Her writing is right on par with Dickens, Hardy, Austen, and of course her sisters, as far as prose goes. I just don't think there is anything about it that stands out as over written or pretentious.

She took her time writing the story. Big deal.

And I don't know where your aggression is coming from, you're like a weird mixture of an English major and a gym-bro. I've never seen anything like it.

There are different writing styles and hers works for her. That's why the same person can appreciate Hemingway and Faulkner even though they're on two different sides of the spectrum.

And sorry for implying you have poor reading comprehension. I see now that I did originally misinterpret your post
