About this listen

Everybody thinks that Charlotte Lucas has no prospects. She is unmarried, plain, poor and reaching a dangerous age. When she stuns the neighbourhood by accepting the proposal of buffoonish clergyman Mr Collins, her best friend Lizzy Bennet is appalled by her decision. Yet this is the only way Charlotte knows how to provide for her future. Her married life will propel her into a new world: not only of duty and longed-for children, but secrets, grief, unexpected love and friendship and a kind of freedom.

Jane Austen cared deeply about the constraints on women in Regency England. This powerful re-imagining takes up where Austen left off in Pride and Prejudice, showing us a woman determined to carve a place for herself in the world. Charlotte offers a fresh, feminist addition to the post-Austen canon, beautifully imagined and brimming with passion and intelligence.

I was not sure what to expect with this novel and have been on the fence about spinoff novels related to pride and prejudice. But I really enjoyed it and I really appreciated the fact that it focused on a particular character in pride and prejudice that it’s easy to overlook. I enjoyed the narration and felt wholly absorbed in the story. When I would recommend, it is a lovely gentle read and says something about the life and expectations of women of the time. I also really liked the flashing out of the character of Anne de Bourgh.
I have also been listening to Longbourne which tells the story from the servants point of view another unique take on a classic novel.

I am enjoying this as well and would recommend
