The protagonist of this book is Elizabeth Bennet, one of five daughters of a middle-class family in a little village in England. Her mother’s ultimate goal is to marry off her daughters, but Elizabeth is not in a rush. I really liked Elizabeth in this book, she is a very strong-willed and sensible young lady. I really loved the way Jane Austen picked the characters for this novel, they are very well developed and very intriguing. I think Mr Darcy is an absolute twit, but with a golden heart. If he would exist in reality, I have no idea how a woman would understand this man. HE IS SO FRUSTRATINGLY COMPLICATED

Callum Pitt comes to us from Newcastle Upon Tyne, England, where he sits by the river and strums his guitar, whispering sweet nothings into the belly of the wind. His new single is a must-listen called simply Happiness.

It's a Disney-style romp through meadows of arpeggiated bells and jangly guitars, with a deep gentle swing and a little cowboy piano for good measure. Lately the BBC has taken an interest in Callum and we think his star is on the rise. He is building on the fanbase he connected with in 2016 with a spot at Evolution Emerging Festival.

You can also hear his song Happiness on Volume 2 of the CHILL NEW Songwriters series.

The chapter with Luthe and Harry (0 more)
A fast read. Set in the desert there are illusions to Colonization, the main Character Harry, she prefers her nickname to her actual name, is from a place called Home (yes original I know) which resembles if not England than America. She goes to Damar (MiddleEast/ North Africa) to be with her brother after their father dies. and although they never say her age I'd place her closer to 15 than 20. Harry is that awkward wild child that grows into her own. She is a strong female character that is humble and while out of her depth still tries to maintain a type of dignity.
