Charlotte

A gentle and enjoyable read about Charlotte Lucas, the friend of Lizzy Bennett from Pride and Prejudice. While large chunks of the book felt true to the original, a significant portion seemed so out of character for Charlotte, and jarred with how a woman of her stature and position would have acted that it coloured my opinion of the book, even though it was very sweet. Overall a diverting read, but not one true fans of Austen will necessarily appreciate.
