Publisher's summary

When Charlotte Lucas becomes the new Mrs. Bennet, taking charge of the household after her predecessor's untimely death, she guides the fates of the five Bennet sisters with a steady hand. Even Mr. Darcy can find little to criticise in the elegant family, and much to admire in the witty, clever Elizabeth.

However, rumours and scandals brew when the charming but deceitful Mr. Wickham arrives in Meryton. Jealous Caroline Bingley fans the flames against the Bennets, but level-headed Charlotte manoeuvres each challenge with grace.

As Elizabeth warily forms a complex acquaintance with the aloof Mr. Darcy, Wickham's schemes threaten to tear them apart. But with Charlottes wise counsel, Elizabeth unravels Wickham's lies and protects the vulnerable Georgiana Darcy, earning Darcy's undying respect and admiration.

Follow the romantic adventures of the Bennet sisters as Charlotte's steady guidance steers them towards happier fates than they ever imagined possible. With resilience and compassion, love finds a way, demonstrating the enduring power of family.

More Telling Than Showing

Very little character development, but lots of listing off characters’ traits, rather than demonstrating them. And Charlotte - for all the praise she gets - doesn’t really do much.

Charlotte is the hero

Mrs. Bennet has passed away, and Mr. Bennet needs a mother for his young children. He then marries 18 year old Charlotte and with her wisdom and grace helps raise the girls. Jane learns to show more feelings, and Elizabeth learns not to judge too quickly. Even though the younger girls go to school, they still very much resemble the girls from canon. Charlotte is the hero in that she sees Wickham for who and what he is and is able with help to thwart his plans. Overall this is a sweet story and it’s wonderful to see the relationship between Charlotte and Mr Bennet and the love they share. I read this in ebook and the audiobook. I enjoyed both.
