Judith Brocklehurst's work is a worthy addition to Jane Austen's world. She has taken a neglected and unloved character in Anne de Burgh and created an interesting and loveable young woman.
Brocklehurst captures Austen's style beautifully, while still having her own distinctive and very appealing voice.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and look forward to reading more by this talented author.

Mrs. Brocklehurst has written a wonderful sequel to Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice that can be read as a sequel or on its own. The story begins with a letter from the haughty "control freak" (to use a 20th C expression) Lady Catherine De Bourgh, & continues with the experiences of her shy daughter Anne. Definitely worth a read.
"A Letter from Lady Catherine" is a great pleasure to read. Judith Brocklehurst writes in a charming style appropriate to the period and yet all her own. She brings her characters vividly to life, particularly minor ones that Austen did not bother much with. Take Anne DeBourgh, for example, whom Austen never allowed to say a word. I will reveal no more than that readers will like Anne, very much. I highly recommend this book.
