What to expect
Jane Austen cared deeply about the constraints on women in Regency England. This powerful reimagining takes up where Austen left off in Pride and Prejudice, showing us a woman determined to carve a place for herself in the world. Charlotte offers a fresh, feminist addition to the post-Austen canon, beautifully imagined, and brimming with passion and intelligence.
Critics Review

Astonishing
Stylist -
I loved this book. Fans of Pride and Prejudice will find this a worthy and engrossing companion, beautifully written. Feminist in nature, without ever lecturing the reader, it is an intimate and honest account of a woman’s struggles and strengths, painting a vivid picture of female life in the nineteenth century. I always felt Charlotte Lucas and Miss de Bourgh had hidden depths that Austen’s story did not have time to explore, so this is a satisfying and compelling addition to the Austen world
Rebecca Mascull -
A sparkling read, full of passion and flair. Will delight Jane Austen fans and lovers of good fiction
Louisa Treger -
An utterly compelling read and an exquisite rendering of human values. Written with a sensitive and perceptive hand, and with an affectionate homage to Austen’s own unique style; spangles of wry humour and wit adorn the narrative throughout. Charlotte’s distinctive voice chimes as brightly as a just-struck bell. Regarding Mr Collins; no doubt to the outside world he remains as Austen intended: part fool, part prig – these traits are neither denied nor negated – but with the deft skill of the author, we clearly begin to see Mr Collins not only through Charlotte’s eyes, but also through her heart; and at once his prolixity is understood, his tenderness revealed. Charlotte is a book which complements, rather than copies. There is certainly a link with Pride and Prejudice, but not a chain; and the story moves confidently and freely in its own direction. I believe fans of Jane Austen will adore it!
Laura Carlin, author of The Wicked Cometh -
An enjoyable and entertaining read which explores women’s constrained choices in early 19th-century England.
