But, now that I have read Joan Aiken’s sequel, Lady Catherine’s Necklace, I am much more interested in what happened . There I love Joan Aiken! The two new characters seemed like they were added to inject some mystery and intrigue, but in the end they were disappointingly dropped, as if the author forgot where she was going with them.This is a "Jane Austen" novel and focuses on Lady Catherine de Burgh and the people at Rosings Park. I found myself grinning ear to ear at the wonderfully unexpected ending.
There is absolutely no point to this book, which supposedly continues the story of Catherine de Bourgh and her relations and hangers-on. In spite of that, it was a fun, enjoyable read.Interesting.
but it wasn't for me. In this one, the characters from Janeites are quite prone to rereading the six books she completed during her brief lifetime, and some of us can't be satisfied with that. Lady Catherine de Bourg, of Pride and Prejudice, is a bit hard to take (as she was in P&P) but once the story gets rolling, it's a fun ride all the way.Charming and sharp edged. Joan Aiken is one of several authors who have imagined either "what came next" or mysteries with the characters from Austen's books.
Lady Catherine’s Necklace By Joan Aiken Thorndike Press, 2000. About time Anne got to do something & have a lifeI thought this was a lot of fun! One of the characters Lady Catherine de Burgh I really didn't like, she was first irritable and then weeping the next.
I feel like it just needed more love and time and it could have been something worth reading. Someone runs away to live in a cottage in Wales?Joan Aiken does a great job on an Austen era social-satire/ mystery with Lady Catherine's necklace. Helpful. The first book in my Caterpickles Parenting Series, What’s That, Mom?, focuses on how to use public art to nurture children’s curiosity in the world around them. And in the end, I was repaid with a fun little Regency story set in a world and populated by characters that were just familiar enough to be comfortable companions for a stormy afternoon. Some one is raised as a boy b/c wet nurses get paid more for boys? This variation of Jane Austen’s classic novel, Pride and Prejudice, is set a few years after the events of Austen’s original.Lady Catherine and her daughter, Anne, are residing quietly at Rosings Park when a freak April snowstorm strands the elegant Ralph Delaval and his sister Priscilla in the neighborhood.
