Pride and Perjury

Pride and Perjury: Twelve Short Stories inspired by Pride and Prejudice | Alice McVeigh

pick

The book contains twelve short stories based on Jane Austen's 'Pride & Prejudice' & 'Emma'. There are nine based on P&P, & three for Emma, but I enjoyed the P&P ones the most. They were all rather good, but two stood out to me: the one from the view of 'Hill', one of the servants at Longbourn, & the story based on what happened to Anne de Bourgh following Darcy's rejection.

OutsmartYourShelf I've read one or two retellings or reimaginings of P&P by different authors & they do vary in quality quite a bit. With regards to these stories, I thought that the author captured Jane Austen's style of writing for the new characters rather well in most cases. It was a diverting, if short, read & a complete change compared to my recent reading choices. I very much enjoyed reading the stories. 4 🌟
