The Assistant: Before Pride and Prejudice by Riana Everly
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is Edward Gardiner's story, the younger half-brother to Mrs Bennet of Longbourn. When Gardiner the merchant is in Derbyshire on business he rescues an injured youth, Matthew, while out walking one day. Little does he know how his life will change as he employs Matthew in his business.
A very enjoyable well-written prequel to P&P with some delightful characters
