Longbourn Library by Trudy Willis

Longbourn Library: A Novel of Pride, Prejudice, and Books


I seldom get to a Pride & Prejudice variation unless I win a book in a giveaway so this was a free download from Amazon which was a pleasant surprise.

Set in an Idaho library mainly we have all our characters - Liz feisty librarian, Jane sweet, Mary quoting good deeds and Kitty being Kitty. Mrs. Bennett being slightly different though gossipy and Mr. Bennett being a good soul. The characters are all there but are placed not as a family(which is what I gathered) which added to the variety. Darcy and Bingley are friends and Wickham is still the pariah of the lot!

It was a fun and entertaining read. What I really needed to get my mind off Melbourne weather.
To add to the misery we have an electricity breakdown which lasted from 10 pm to 6 am this morning. At least it came on this morning. Thank God for small mercies.

  4. Sounds like a good read and a little different too. I heard about the Melbourne power break down, forgot you were there. Ouch.

  5. At least the power outage was throughout the night and early morning. I hope you enjoyed your visit despite the weather! This does sound like a fun one though. I will have to look it up.
