I thought ease would come, here, tucked away in the safe uneventfulness of Hunsford. It would seem I was mistaken.In 1813, upon her marriage to Mr Collins, the rector of Hunsford Parsonage, Charlotte Collins ne Lucas left her childhood home in Hertfordshire for Kent, where she is set to live out her life as the parson's wife, in an endless procession of dinners at Rosings Park, household chores, correspondence, and minding her poultry. But Mrs Collins carries with her a secret, a peculiar preference, which is destined to turn all her carefully laid plans on their head.Lucas is a queer romance, a mock-epistolary novel, and a retelling and continuation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, teeming with Regency references and Sturm und Drang. It is an homage to English literature--and a brazen, revisionist fan fiction. But, first and foremost, it is a love story. Read it as you will. No library descriptions found. |
