Austenites are polarised when it comes to fan fics, but Parris gets it right by crafting an entertaining and satisfying follow-up without butchering the characters\u2019 \u2026 well, um characters or deviating too far from the original story line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I especially liked the extra layers Parris added to the peripheral <em>Pride and Prejudice<\/em> characters&#8217; backgrounds, elevating them from plot devices, comic relief or low-key villainy to endearing main-character status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope Parris picks her pen up again and tells us what Mary, Kitty, Maria and even Georgiana did next. Heck, I\u2019d even like to know what her imagination makes the Bingley sisters get up to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/tag\/book-review\/\" type=\"link\"
