So once again I have journeyed into the land of the Darcy's. (This should not be a shock to anyone.) I have read the most recent book in Rebecca Ann Collins series My Cousin Caroline. This book is a compilation of the other books, just with a focus on Caroline Fitzwilliam and her family.
Some would say why would anyone read this book if it just a rehashing of all that has come before. Well it is not that. This time around the reader gets to see what drives Caroline and her family. You see her journal entries and and letters which have helped to shape her into the lady that she has become. You see what drivers her to be a good mother and wife.
You can see her shape into a very important part of her family and that the influence of Elizabeth Darcy is very much in place to make her the woman she is. Ms. Collins brings in her talent for relating what is going on with the times to the story. At times it can be a little like a history lesson, but it is entertaining all the same, and it is nice to see what motivates the characters of her story.
