Assumptions
& Absurdities is a truly apt title for this Jane Austen Fan Fiction novel.
Being that of a variation on the Pride & Prejudice theme, it’s a well
written narrative driven novel, with lots of amusing asides. And, to avoid
spoiling the plot the best way to describe this novel is to say the author has
a mischievous streak. You’ll see why, and yet, to some extent, what occurs
seems quite plausible, if a little absurd. Therein lies the problem of
assumption that all must be as before, instead of lateral thinking and wicked
indulgence of characters who choose to differ on how their stories are to
unfold. This is a fun read. Enjoy!
