The Ladies of Longbourn

von Rebecca Ann Collins

Klappentext

Zitat aus dem Klappentext: Continuing from Netherfield Park Revisited, Ms. Collins helps us explore the lives of the family of Jonathan Bingley, now the owner of Longbourn - the Bennet family estate in Austen's Pride and Prejudice. His wife and daughter, together with Charlotte Collins, widow of the infamous Mr. Collins, are the Ladies of Longbourn, who lives are intertwined against the fascinating background of social and political change in Victorian England. Jonathan Bingley's daughter, Anne-Marie, a complex and charming young woman, has been tested to the limit of her endurance by the circumstances of a passionless marriage. She must find within herself and her loving family, the strength to overcome her trauma. Still a very young and beautiful woman, she faces a difficult choice when Colin Elliott - the new MP for the area - falls in love with her. Her rejection of the conventional role of women, who marry without love or passion, places her in the frontline of Austenian heroines, whose intelligence and strength set them apart in 19th century literature. Above all, Ms. Collins tells a great story with wit and conviction. Her many readers will surely enjoy The Ladies of Longbourn. rebecca ann collins enterprises erstmals erschienen: 2000 Homepage der Autorin
