The Ladies of Norland: Twisted Austen | Alexa Adams
1 post | 1 read
A Sense and Sensibility reimagination. What if the elder Mr. Dashwood was more generous to his nephew, niece, and their daughters than Austen rendered him? Had they not been forced from Norland Park, would Elinor and Marianne still have achieved their happy endings? The Ladies of Norland is the sixth book in the Twisted Austen series, written in honor of Halloween. Join Austenesque writer Alexa Adams as she explores Austen's timeless tales through an unconventional lens.

#PemberLittens Stumbled upon this while searching for Sense and Sensibility Retellings for #JaneAustenThenAndNow.

Author seems to have disappeared in 2023.
From her abandoned Blog "Welcome to Twisted Austen, my annual event conceived in the spirit of Halloween, but which really just serves to infuriate and confuse my fellow Janeites.⬇️

Crinoline_Laphroaig That‘s not being totally fair to myself. Some readers do actually seem to really like these stories, but I write them for my own amusement. It‘s a space where I can explore ideas that really aren‘t marketable."⬇️ 4d
Crinoline_Laphroaig A Sense and Sensibility with this the only mention of Colonel Brandon "It was soon learned that Mr. Ferrars had married Miss Steele, an act made possible by the generosity of an acquaintance procured in Devonshire, one Colonel Brandon, who, despite having no interest in the couple beyond pity for the treatment they had endured, had given Edward the living attached to his estate of Delaford in Dorsetshire."⬇️ 4d
Crinoline_Laphroaig ⬆️Now that is a thing of horror. 4d
bookandbedandtea "Twisted Austen" indeed! Any story in which Edward ends up married to Lucy would be too painful. 3d
