Lydia: The wild girl of Pride and Prejudice |
How do you follow the ultimate classic? By not trying to be that author. Farrant is clever enough not to do this and this novel aimed at a teenage audience (but as enjoyable for adults, I feel) is a rollicking success. Lydia steps off the page; a modern miss? No think Becky Sharp. One to recommend - and then try the original.
