DESCRIPTION
You are invited to Charlotte’s Wedding by Mary Rizza – a contemporary reimagining of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. Every mother wants the best for her daughters and Patsy Nicholson has particular reasons for wanting her three daughters – Rachel, Meredith and Shelley – to have secure futures. When their plain, dull cousin Charlotte announces her engagement to a man with little going for him other than a huge bank balance, Patsy sets out a plan for her girls to raise their game and look for well-off, well-established men to marry. This is a compelling spin on Pride and Prejudice, which explores the compromises and choices made by women as they negotiate their way through issues of independence and security, love and money in their complicated 21st Century lives. RSVP to the invitation to Charlotte's Wedding at viewBook.at/charlotte Look out for further books in the 21st Century Jane Austen Novel series coming soon.
