Charlotte by Helen Moffett
"But the child in her arms did not wake. And looking across at her openly weeping husband, she knew he never would."
For readers and admirers of Jane Austen's 'Pride & Prejudice' this is the story of Lizzie Bennet's closest friend Charlotte Lucas. The pragmatic Charlotte who shocks her family and friends by accepting the hand of Mr. Collins and so was first to the altar which was a very unexpected outcome for she was without prospects, considered plain, poor and reaching a dangerous age! This novel continues the story of Charlotte's married life with Mr. Collins, a life which 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.
For fans of 'Longbourn' and ''The Other Bennet Sister', this beautifully told story of marriage, duty and friendship follows Charlotte's story from where 'Pride & Prejudice' ends.
