Helen Moffett

Helen Moffett is a South African author, editor, academic, and activist. She is a former lecturer at Stellenbosch University and a prominent voice on gender-based violence in South Africa. Charlotte is a novel that reimagines the life of Charlotte Lucas from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice — the practical friend who marries the absurd Mr Collins. Moffett gives Charlotte her own rich inner life and story, exploring what happens after the wedding that Austen glossed over. Her audiobooks and books offer listeners and readers a clever, compassionate Austen-inspired novel that gives Charlotte Lucas the story she deserved.
