Bit of a confession to make...despite being a fan of the tv adaptation of Pride & Prejudice (particularly Colin Firth's Mr Darcy!), I've never finished the book. I've tried a couple of times, but I never seem to be entertained enough to get through it. Classics are just not my go to! Subsequently, this book is something I wouldn't normally gravitate towards, but I'm so glad I had the opportunity to read it.

I was totally lost in the side-story of Charlotte's character and her life both before, during and after the timeline featured in Pride & Prejudice. Through different characters, the storyline deals with inheritance rights and the unfair differences between men and women - interesting and not something I expected from this book.

Whilst being familiar with Pride & Prejudice will help, it's certainly not essential to enjoy Charlotte.
