Thought you might enjoy the rough map of Hunsford I used when writing The Darcy Ring and The Lovesick Maid. (Not to scale!)
You can see the parsonage bottom right, cunningly placed to allow our upstanding rector, Mr Collins, to monitor the Rosings traffic.
Some of the locations have yet to play a part in a book, but the Charlotte Collins Mysteries continue…
The map’s inspired by the village o...

of
A Marriage of Attachment: a sequel to A Contrary Wind:
"The story of the Bertrams and Prices continue in this sequel, and variation of Mansfield Park. Characters from the first book are still here plus new ones. I would recommend that you read A Contrary Wind first (another excellent book).

of
A Marriage of Attachment: a sequel to A Contrary Wind:
"This is a wonderful book! Just like the author's other book, A Contrary Wind, this book made me feel like I was reading something that Jane Austen actually wrote herself. The style, story and diction are so Austenesque, nothing like so many of tho..."

This author shows promise. Wonder if she's written anything else? What can you say about one of English literature's masterpieces? I re-read this on vacation and learnt again to appreciate Jane Austen's incredible grasp of human behaviour. Time and ag ...more |

“Books are the one luxury I deem a necessity. If my purchases lead us into poverty, then at least we will be well-read paupers.”

“Gemstones glittered as Mrs Darcy twisted outstretched fingers. An oval setting encased a large cut diamond flanked by trefoils, each holding a ruby and two emeralds. Traces of black enamel encircled the gold of the ring itself. It held the attention of the table, like an opera singer at the climax of an aria.
“How fortunate you are, Mrs Darcy,” said Miss de Bourgh. “A lady may be sure of a gentleman’s love when he presents her with such a treasure.”

“The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.”

“There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well. The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or sense.”

“Mind! I don't mean to say that I know, of my own knowledge, what there is particularly dead about a door-nail. I might have been inclined, myself, to regard a coffin-nail as the deadest piece of ironmongery in the trade. But the wisdom of our ancestors is in the simile; and my unhallowed hands shall not disturb it, or the Country's done for. You will therefore permit me to repeat, emphatically, that Marley was as dead as a door-nail.”

“Wherefore the clerk put on his white comforter, and tried to warm himself at the candle; in which effort, not being a man of a strong imagination, he failed.”
