Description: For everyone who loved Pride and Prejudice and legions of historical fiction lovers an inspired debut novel set in Austen's world. Charlotte Collins nee Lucas is the respectable wife of Hunsford's vicar and sees to her duties by rote: keeping house caring for their adorable daughter visiting parishioners and patiently tolerating the lectures of her awkward husband and his condescending patroness Lady Catherine de Bourgh. Intelligent pragmatic and anxious to escape the shame of spinsterhood Charlotte chose this life an inevitable one so socially acceptable that its quietness threatens to overwhelm her. Then she makes the acquaintance of Mr. Travis a local farmer and tenant of Lady Catherine. In Mr. Travis company Charlotte feels appreciated heard and seen. For the first time in her life Charlotte begins to understand emotional intimacy and its effect on the heart and how breakable that heart can be. With her sensible nature confronted and her own future about to take a turn Charlotte must now question the role of love and passion in a woman's life and whether they truly matter for a clergyman's wife.
