![]() ![]() On a serious note Ormiston is quite obviously a great fan of Austen and P&P. Someone has written an interesting Austen re-telling. Fortunately this book took the best possible road and created something which I found enjoyable, heart warming and interesting – yes, that’s right. However to see a piece of fiction which takes that fateful day at the Parsonage and turns the proposal scene on its head, for me, could only have gone one of two ways. I’m not saying this is a BAD thing, simply an oft attempted one. Usually (and I use this term with only personal experience to hold to) people seem to re-imagine so that they can write Pride and Prejudice with steamy stuff thrown in. However I have to admit – I have never read a Pride and Prejudice re-imagining quite like this. Not only of Austen’s original works (Sense and Sensibility vies for my “favourite book of all time” position) but also of every spin off and re-imagining possible – Jane Austen Book Club, Austenland, Lost in Austen…you name it, I’ve probably seen it / read it. I am a long term, unapologetic Austen fan. ![]()
