A life a little more lenient for poor Charlotte

Jennifer Becton realizes one of our wishes: Mr Collins died! Here is a book that starts pretty well! Subsequently, there have been a few disappointments, surprises, emotion, minor inconsistencies ...

Let's start with what I liked a little less. We find Charlotte and her sister Maria, two years after the death of Mr. Collins. Other austeniens characters do not appear or only in a flash, as saying that if you had told us about two sisters with no connection to Jane Austen, it would not have made differences. I am also a little chagrined by the description given of Charlotte, which rose from pragmatic cynical and thinks her sister as a silly dark. But hey, I want to believe that seven years of marriage with Mr Collins can transform you, and not well ...

But then, one enters the story, it focuses on the characters, we tremble for the reputation of his two sisters who will be harmed! And even if I could have told you after ten pages that would marry who I am easily taken me to the game!

I loved also the end for several reasons that I will try to explain without spoiler! First, to Maria who reveals his goodness and nobility of soul and his love for his sister. Charlotte would rather have deserved a sister Lydia as having so often thought that Maria was a silly but I'm glad that this is not the case! Then for Charlotte actions that go against conventions while very romantic (nothing to do with Darcy sisters who sleep with their suitors for balls, I assure you! See the "Mr Darcy Daughters" by Elizabeth Aston). And finally, a beautiful scene that turns two hands graze in action particularly sensual! No need to describe 50 shades if you ask me!

Sure, there are many narrative patterns reproduced austeniens where we would have preferred to be the characters who are, but I still appreciated the story well and I am happy that Charlotte has finally right to a little happiness !
