"Yes, yes indeed, this is Kitty Bennett from Pride and Prejudice, need I say more!"
Dust off your dance cards and practice your repartee, as the Bennet sisters are back. Kitty Bennet is lonely, with three of her sisters married, she begins to consider her previous antics. Spending time with both Jane and Lizzy, Kitty’s eyes open to new possibilities. I adore anything that lengthens my forays into Jane Austen’s world and I immediately felt at home. I could see, hear, almost reach out and touch the much-loved characters as they walked in my mind. This is such a gentle, loving, and beautifully readable novel, you don’t actually need to have read Pride and Prejudice to step into the pages. Carrie Kablean perhaps sees certain well-loved characters with a slightly different eye to my own, which was fascinating as I felt myself evaluating my own impressions and thoughts. What Kitty Did Next is a delightful, thoroughly enjoyable read, and I fairly skipped through from beginning to end.

Perfect for all Jane Austen fans. Kitty is given the prominence she deserves in her own story and shines.
As a Jane Austen fan, I loved this novel. True to the spirit of Austen without quite such a deft touch at poking fun at her own characters but nevertheless less a light touch at gentle humour. In this novel, we follow Miss Catherine Bennett, 'Kitty' of the title after the advantageous marriages of the two elder Bennett sisters and the unfortunate alliance of Lydia with Mr. Wickham.
