Rosie Rushton Review

Image
My love of Jane Austen has risen to new heights with this collection of modernised teenage adaptations of the beloved novels by author Rosie Rushton. From Whatever Love Is (Mansfield Park) to firm favourites Summer of Secrets (Northanger Abbey) and Love, Lies and Lizzie (Pride and Prejudice), Rushton has definitely set the bar on how to write a romantic comedy with depth, passion and hormonal drama! So, If I was talking about Austen, I'd start with publishing order. However, as these are adaptations, I'm going to start with my lowest rated. This review contains spoilers. *** Secret Schemes and Daring Dreams *** An adaptation of Emma, this charming novel brings to the fore all the sentimentality and sarcastic dry wit that the original did.

Cuddles

In loving memory of one of the cutest cats... Warm and rested by the fire, Dark with aubern, her thick fur glowed. Her presense calm in quiet slumber Watching embers fade. Those she loved around her always, Laughing at her chatter. Small but large were her demands, Cute and inane banter. In the dark her green eyes glistened, Pierced into the soul. She never like the policeman coming, Hissing from the bed. Her footbaall skills unparallelled, Despite her timid nature She always gave it all she had, The ball did not escape her. Sleeping curled on daddy's lap, Resting with eyes closed No one would disturb her there, Just watched her dream and doze. Gone from the world to a better place Where there is no pain, Only happiness and joy, She waits to see you again. To Cuddles, the persian. May you forever play in fields and catch mice. xxx
