About this audiobook
Miss Charlotte Lucas is seven-and-twenty, plain, and under no illusions. When Mr Collins is rejected by Elizabeth Bennet, Charlotte sees an opportunity, and grabs it with both hands. Mr Collins might be tedious, but he offers her the keys to the Hunsford parsonage pantry and a future free from her father's endless anecdotes. She accepts with clear eyes, because love was never part of her calculations.
Mr William Collins was sent to Longbourn by his patroness, the formidable Lady Catherine de Bourgh, to heal the breach the entail has caused. When his cousin rejects him, the most sensible and convenient solution is the plain, sensible friend.
A marriage of convenience in a frost-bound January ought to be a simple arrangement. But the wedding is moved from auspicious Wednesday to ill-fated Friday, and superstition is the least of their troubles. Lady Catherine awaits, and she means to govern the parsonage down to its very laundress.
