A good read for fans of Pride and Prejudice
Abigail Reynolds is the queen of Pride and Prejudice variations. This novel uses some of the conventions of society which show the way that women were restricted in this society. When Elizabeth becomes engaged to a local young man and then breaks the engegement because Lydia has brought shame on the family is ostracized. Darcy courts her despite her being ostracized by Meryton society until she realizes her attraction and love for him.

Pride and Prejudice an excellent experience!
After borrowing Pride and Prejudice from the public library which limits checkouts to 1 week, I wanted to view it again at leisure. Great care was taken with this production which adheres closely to the original novel. Script, costumes, locations bring the story to life faithfully. It is clear that producer Sue Burtwistle and writer Andrew Davies care about this book. The music by Carl Davis greatly enhances this production.

Great British Detective Series
Based on the books by Elizabeth George, this series ran for six seasons. Inspector Lynley is an earl, resented by the rest of the police officers because they think he is dabbling in policr work. Sargent Havers is a female officer from the poorer part of London who has anger issues. At first they clash, but are able to estblish a working relationship. Their cases take them all over England. Excellent sleuthing leads to solving cases without excessive violence. Highly recommended. Good value.
