Colonel Brandon's Diary — Amanda Grange

A vibrant retelling of Sense and Sensibility, Amanda Grange's sweeping epic breathes new life into one of Jane Austen's best-loved novels...

James Brandon cannot remember a time when he did not love his father's ward, Eliza. But the elder Brandon has the final word -- and forces her to marry James's brother, Harry. Drunk, womanizing Harry.

James thinks only distance can heal his heart, and he sets off to fight in the East Indies. While he's gone, Eliza suffers the depths of despair -- abandoned with a child, then ravaged by consumption -- and James hardly recognizes her when he stumbles upon her in a debtor's prison.

Now James must face tragedy -- and a bleak future, brightened only by Eliza's little daughter, whom he adores. And even though fate has more heartbreak in store for James, it also holds happiness beyond his wildest dreams...
