I loved reading this Danielle! I haven’t read the book yet, but I watched the show with such JOY. I feel 2026 is exactly the right time for a story just like this, and I can’t wait to read the book. I also loved Mr Collins’ turn in the show, and Ms Bingley too. I gather the book suggests a deeper friendship might develop between her and Mary? Thank you for writing such a great overview - and I didn’t pick that Lucy Briers was the older Hill! Oh, I also loved the armpit hair too ❤️
