In this Pride and Prejudice sequel we are concerned with the story of the great-niece by marriage of Lady Catherine de Bourgh. Miss Phoebe Parker in exchange for help for Phoebe's brothers from Lady Catherine sells herself as a companion to Lady Catherine and the environs of Rosings.
I enjoyed this story as it does also cover the Bennets and their connections by marriage. Probably a 3.5 star rating.

I really shouldn't read these Austen sequels. This was probably the best one I have read.
A book I love to re-read. The main character is a sensible, practical, hard working young woman who decides to enrol to train as a nurse at the Nightingale school of nurses.
She is also intelligent and forthright and at times knows a lot better than the trainee doctors on the ward where she is now a sister - which causes her problems.
Frances Murray manages to give a rich impression of the period and characters without bogging the reader down in detail. I very much admire her technique of interspersing a few notes between characters and on occasion the odd newspaper article, as an amusing and quick way to tell the reader about what happened next.… (altro)
