Here's another character from "Pride and Prejudice." Charlotte Lucas was heroine Elizabeth's cynical best friend who took a pragmatic approach to marriage and saw through people's self-deception. Here she has a career as a food critic and lives with a cat. I didn't have the heart to give her the dopey husband she ended up with in the book, but I did name the cat after him. #literary #bookcharacter #career #skilled #youngadult #Ragdoll
