When I discovered that Rachel Parris (of Austentatious) had written a novel centred on the ever-practical Charlotte Collins, I couldn’t wait to read it.

This episode of Pemberley and Beyond dives into a delightful reimagining of that Austen fans won’t want to miss. Introducing Mrs Collins offers a fresh and entertaining perspective on one of Austen’s most infamously unromantic characters. Known for her sensible outlook, Charlotte’s carefully ordered life at Hunsford Parsonage is suddenly thrown into disarray when a charming and unexpected gentleman visits Rosings Park.

Join me as we unpack the three main tropes in this clever continuation of Pride and Prejudice and muse on the romantic potential of Mr Collins.
