Introducing Mrs. Collins

A Novel

By: Rachel Parris

Narrated by: George Blagden, Rachel Parris

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a woman deserves to be the heroine of her own story.

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 her friend Elizabeth Bennet may think.

That is, until an unexpected guest at nearby Rosings Park turns Charlotte's careful world on its head. He sees her, challenges her, and a spark is lit.

Torn between what she must do and what she truly desires, Charlotte finds herself at the center of a story she never expected to be hers. A tale of love, loss, and second chances, Introducing Mrs. Collins is for anyone who wondered if there was more to the sensible character we met in Pride and Prejudice. It is the story of a woman who had written herself out of her own life and is only now daring to want more.

Great story!

What a wonderful story of Charlotte. The author took great care with Austen’s characters and developed a new narrative that still respects original themes.

Overall it was a good romance but slow

It took awhile for this to get interesting. Once you get to Vol 2 it gets better. I liked the ending and overall it wasn’t bad.
