Welcome to my blog, where I share my love of books, travelling, cats and other things... but mainly books!
An avid bookworm since childhood, I write the sort of stories I love to read – heart-warming, character driven and strong on location. Having moved around extensively and lived in three countries, I find places inspiring and the setting of my novels often becomes as much a part of the story as the characters.
I lean heavily towards the upbeat and insist on a happy ever after. As one of my favourite authors, Jane Austen, once wrote, ‘let other pens dwell on guilt and misery’.
I love travelling, words, cats and wine but never in the same glass, and I currently split my time between Switzerland, where I live with my husband and imaginary cats, and England, where I live with my characters.
Somehow my phone led me to chapter ten before nine. I have to laugh at how different the Elliot sisters are the eldest making me chuckle at everything she says. I’m glad Elizabeth gets a different view of Georgiana than what GW told her.

If you came via Facebook, the link takes you to the blog main page, so Ch 10 would show up at the top! 😉 Elizabeth Elliot is a nightmare! lol

I like how you’ve added Anne’s continued pining for Frederick. I hope we will see him arrive. Elizabeth’s delight in the absurd shines through in this scene. I hope she will realize that Wickham told a big fib about Georgie.

Poor Anne. What a life, with a sister like that and her long lost love! Something needs to happen, that’s for sure!

I have not read Persuasion; so, my question will be uninformed. Does Anne see Frederick later? Her misery is sad as well as having an unkind sister.

My lips are sealed on Frederick for now, but you’ll understand why soon…

They seem to have a mutual interest in each other!

I did notice Darcy got out of telling Georgiana about Elizabeth Bennet. Thanks for this chapter.

Don’t all these new posts make for a lovely week for me, please keep them coming! I find myself saving new chapters until I have a proper time (me-time) to read them at leisure.
Elizabeth is curious about Georgiana, and vice-versa, but for different reasons. Georgiana to find out more about Lizzy; and Lizzy looking to validate Wickham’s claims (while he remains the admirable officer for now). I hope they get to spend time with each other in the next chapter, with or without Darcy nearby.

Yes, Elizabeth still holds Wickham in high regard at the moment. A bit like her dislike of Darcy, it will take some shaking to get rid of it!

Love how Anne and Col. F can see what Lizzy and Darcy cannot/will not. Methinks some fine eyes are about to be opened a bit, once she meets Georgie. Love the last line. 😉
