Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
Aiken's latest sequel to Jane Austen's work centers on Pride and Prejudice's Lady Catherine de Bourgh and the inhabitants of Rosings Park. During an unusual April snowstorm, Ralph Delaval and his sister Priscilla have a carriage accident and arrive at Rosings seeking aid. Elegant and polite, they are allowed to stay, but most of the household is suspicious of their motives. Lady Catherine's daughter Anne does not trust Mr. Delaval, and when he suggests the demolition of a cottage that is inhabited by friends of Anne's late father, she becomes distraught because the two painters and a young gardener are her only friends. Lady Catherine then embarks on a journey; a diamond necklace of hers is declared fake, and a letter arrives informing the family that Lady Catherine has been kidnapped. Everyone is thrown into an uproar, except Anne, who relishes her unexpected freedom. Aiken has fashioned a charming variation on Austen's work that will give Austen fans a chance to revisit some old friends. Patty Engelmann

Rezension bezieht sich auf: Lady Catherine's Necklace (Gebundene Ausgabe)
If you're reading this book to find out what happens to the Darcys, Bennetts or Bingleys you will be sadly disappointed. They are barely mentioned in this book. This is all about Lady Catherine and her daughter Anne. Since I actually found Lady Catherine amusing I enjoyed reading this book. It is certainly no equal to Jane Austen's original work but it was a fun light read. I do have two complaints with the book. One is that this book takes place at least 4 years after the end of Pride and Prejudice and Anne De Bourgh is only 17 years old. I have trouble believing anyone would have angry at Mr. Darcy for marrying Elizabeth Bennett instead of a cousin who according to Joan Aiken would have been a 13 year old girl at the time. My other complaint is that Joan Aiken uses characters from other novels in this sequel. Maria Lucas corresponds with Mrs. Jennings from Sense and Sensibility and Longbourn is rented out Captain Price from Mansfield Park. Other readers may like the characters from all of Jane Austen's novels interacting with each other but I find it pointless and annoying. It's been done to death. This is a book I'd borrow rather than buy. I liked it but I wouldn't want to read it over and over. Joan Aiken's novel Jane Fairfax is much better.

Rezension bezieht sich auf: Lady Catherine's Necklace (Gebundene Ausgabe)
Joan Aiken is NO Jane Austen! The title is unconsequential to the plot, there are aspects of life (i.e. homosexuality) which Miss Austen would never have included in a novel, and the ending feels as though she had met her maximum page numbers and was simply trying to quickly close things out. I've read "Jane Fairfax" and thought this would be as well done; more's the pity for me to have wasted my time here.

Rezension bezieht sich auf: Lady Catherine's Necklace (Gebundene Ausgabe)
This would have been an excellent book if had not had so many glaring errors.If the reader wish- es to read a decent sequel to P&P,I suggest that they read "Letters From Pemberley".That was much better done.Ms.Aiken should at least read the book she is writing a sequel to before she writes her story.
