"CCF" interpretation in my own views

I definitely was confused by the book, but having read the book and watch the movie I can say I understand it a bit more. To me, the book helped me understand the movie even though neither are clear. This Comedic/Ironic/Sarcastic book really brought the words alive to me in my head and it felt real. The characters of Flora seems like a independent well educated woman that understands how to do things. She has managed to set things right in order at the family's farm and get her relatives right, considering they and the farm are cursed. Trying to help everyone in her way to get them away so she can get the farm running up. Flora makes a point when she mentions that her family has money but yet they don't do anything with their wealth. Part of the story reminds me of Jane Austin's book Pride and Prejudice; including the story of Mr. "Mybug" and his love to Flora is similar to Mr. Collins and his love for Elizabeth Bennett. Not entirely sure if the book has some resemblance to part of the Pride and Prejudice story or if it's just me. Even the whole plot of Flora helping her "estranged" family to having happy endings and getting better and in the end Flora has her own romantic happy ending as Elizabeth Bennett did. So to my understanding of the book it seems like a parody when I notice some similarities to other stories that I have read. Does anyone agree? She manages to take her family from living in the old world country to the modern world country, making them adjust to the changes that is going on. They are being mocked on London Sophistication and living in the country not knowing how to run the farm and being classified as having some sort of "personal" problem. If that makes sense?...
