marguicha @marguicha (230350) • Chile 22 Jun 22

I confess that of all Jane Austen´s books, Pride and Prejudice was the one I liked best, followed closely by one that has not been made into a movie (Northanger Abbey). I have watched the film more than once as it is so similar...

Review: _Longbourn:_ A different angle on Pride and Prejudice

Rebecca Huston @Telynor (1763) • United States 17 May 16

I tend to stay away from most of the sequels or reworkings of Jane Austen's novels, and only if a book has gotten some favourable reviews will I take a second look. Most of them are pretty much romances, reimagining the story from...
