Crossroads: A Collection of Austenesque Novellas by MJ Stratton ★★★★☆
What Became of Miss Mary King - in which we follow Mary to Liverpool, as she slowly recovers from her encounter with Mr Wickham. It is a delight to watch her build a new life and perhaps find love.
This was really pleasing!
At First Slight - in which Eros and Psyche have less than stellar success in encouraging romance between Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy.
A Change of Outcomes - in which Lydia Bennet reads her sister's mail.
Fitzwilliam Darcy's famous letter to Elizabeth, details just how bad George Wickham really is.
Initially, Lydia dismisses it as lies, but slowly she begins to acknowledge the truth.
Her trip to Brighton gives Lydia opportunities to re-evaluate her views on men and her own sense of self worth.
This stands out as the best novella in the anthology. I definitely recommend!
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
