A short and sweet Jane Austen sequel

Charlotte Lucas was always one of my least favorite characters in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. I hated that she married the annoying and obnoxious Mr. Collins, but I was curious about what happened to her. Did she and Mr. Collins have children? What about Lady Catherine? This short novel answered those questions and more. From the get go, this is NOT a Jane Austen, but a different take on her stories. If you are a die-hard Austen fan, I do not reccomend. However, if you are looking for some answers, and do not care about the writing style, then read on! Mrs. Collins and Mrs. Elizabeth Darcy have maintained a friendship through the years, and both have become mothers. Thankfully, the details of HOW Mrs. Collins became pregnant are spared; and one of the Darcy children and one of the Collin's children fall in love. But, what will Mr. Darcy have to say about this? How will Mr. Collins take it? What will Lady Catherine think? Though the novel is short, it was entertaining, and did manage to answer my questions about how Charlotte Lucas ended up.

A wonderful look into what life that could have happened!

It took me so long to find this book because i had to go to the publisher but I would recomend it to anyone who love humor and Pride and Prejudice. The story takes place about 25 years after the Darcys marriage. They have 3 children Fritz who we never hear much about other than he will marry Jane and Bingly's daughter. Juliet who i really dont like and the whole story is based around she is a bit stuck up for me and I dont think that Elizabeth's daughter would have turned out so materialistic but the good romance in the story is around Eliza Collins and Herny Darcy who meet when the Collins come for Juliet's 17th Birthday.I will not give away anymore of the wonderful story but if you can get your hands on a copy hold on to it because it is amazing.

Enjoyable

I was excited to read this book and was very disappointed in the length of it. I did enjoy the story and felt it was a probable continuation of Pride and Predjudice. I would have liked for the relationships between the characters, particularly the younger characters, to be spelt out more. Also the use of all the names from other Jane Austen novels was a bit confusing. I would recommend it to anyone who reads Jane Austen novels and enjoys her work.

The best sequel to P & P I've read

Consequence reads as if Jane Austen has been reincarnated. The characters ring true, the situation is perfect, the conclusion is everything you hope for. My only regret is that the book is so short! I've read every sequel to P & P ever written that I know of, and this is simply the best sequel out there.
