This is a Pride and Prejudice-based story that focuses on Mr Collins and his life before and after he visits Longbourn. It's a story that's designed to give him a new context, and frame his behavior differently, especially with a romantic relationship he has with a male childhood friend who ends up being employed by his rectory, and unfortunately it didn't really work for me! The writing is fine, but I don't really see this version of Mr Collins in the novel at all, and it's not so transformative with a gay romance that makes my heart sing that I can overlook that. Not for me, I'm afraid.
Grade: C
