Booklog 82/2022: Sarah Page: Mrs Wickham - Audiobook

[jacey]

An offshoot of Pride and Prejudice, this is the story of Lydia Bennet and what happens after she’s married to Wickham in disgrace, and sent north to a town she doesn’t know. But it’s not a complete fresh start, Wickham is unreliable, often drunk and visiting brothels. Lydia made one mistake, aged fifteen, and now she’s paying for it. She’s a social pariah, and must claw herself into independence and respectability. Lydia is fighting for her place in the world. An engaging short story with a satisfying ending. Nicely narrated by Jessie Buckley and Johnny Flynn.

Respectability is highly overrated! :-)
