'Warm witty and wise' RICHARD OSMAN
'Hilarious, wise and heart breaking' SARA PASCOE
'The perfect Austen fix. Delightful, beguiling and accomplished!' JANICE HALLETT
'Genuinely funny and moving. I enjoyed every second. It was like spending time with old friends' ALICE WINN
'Parris has achieved a remarkable feat... Jane would be very amused indeed' CARIAD LLOYD
'Funny, then suddenly deep, then deeply romantic. A marvellous and mighty literary magic trick. Rather like the work of another author I love, born 250 years ago' RICHARD CURTIS

Charlotte Lucas has never been a romantic. Practical to a fault, she accepted Mr Collins's proposal with clear eyes and a steady heart, trading passion for security. Life at Hunsford Parsonage may be quiet and predictable, but it is hers to manage - and she's determined to make the best of it, whatever Elizabeth Bennet may think.

That is, until an unexpected guest at Rosings Park turns Charlotte's careful world on its head. He sees her, challenges her - and a spark is lit. But true contentment is not only about who you choose to love, but who you choose to be. For the first time, she wonders: has playing by the rules kept her on the sidelines of her own life?

Introducing: Mrs Collins, the Pride and Prejudice heroine you never knew you needed.
