The Clergyman's Wife: A Pride & Prejudice Novel by Molly Greeley
3.0
Oh you all know I love PP variations! So I went for this one at once. This is not a romance. I do confess at times I wanted more for Charlotte, oh how I wished.
Charlotte made a choice. Probably remain a spinster and lie under her father's and then brother's roof and be a burden, or marry a man with a good standing and prospects. Even if he is not handsome, but neither is she. Even if her best friend wonders if she lost her mind, because he can sure be tiresome.
But she married, she moved away, she found she could do it.
There is their first time, and it really describes their lives. A bit sad, but normal life you know. A sensible life. A bit boring.
And then Lady Catherine orders a farmer to plant roses for them and, no, there is great love story. There is yearning and looks, and words. And I hoped, but how could one hope. It was not a sensible choice, and it was not possible either.
I liked this book. Charlotte sacrificed so she could have other things. A home of her own, children, a good life.
The narrator was good and she nailed Lady Catherine, oh how tiresome that woman is! This was easy listening too and when it ended I wanted more.
