20 years later...the Collins' children find romance
Like Anne Hampson, Gillespie supposes what happens to Charlotte Collins post- P&P. But here, the action takes place 20 years after the classic and centers (as do Gillespie's other "sequels") on peripheral characters. Gillespie actually chooses to focus the tale on the romantic possibilities of the Collins' children, William and Marcia. If you're the kind of Austen fan who embraces the contemporary regency romances, this novel will be of particular interest to you, as it's very much of that genre. Again, this is only a must for those (like myself) who must read anything Austen related. But if you do encounter the book, it's worth a read -- and a quick and easy one at that.

Good story, not particularly like Jane Austen's writing
Teverton Hall was an enjoyable story, but the only likeness to Jane Austen's writing was the introduction of Mr. and Mrs. Collins from Pride and Prejudice. Mr. Collins' tirades are pretty true to life, but occurring so frequently, tend to become very annoying. Borrow it from the library if you can, but I wouldn't advise purchasing it.
