Edmund Bertram's DiaryThe retelling of Jane Austen's novel Mansfield Park from the point of view of Edmund Bertram, by the author of Mr. Knightley's Diary and Captain Wentworth's Diary. At ten years of age, Fanny Price came to live with Edmund Bertram and his family at Mansfield Park. Far from the brat Edmund expected, Fanny became his closest confidante and dearest friend. But when the fashionable Crawford siblings, Henry and Mary-come to town, they captivate the Bertram family. Henry embarks on a scandalous flirtation with Edmund's sister, who is already betrothed to another, while Edmund is enchanted by Mary's beauty and wit. But when it appears that Mary is not all she seems to be, Edmund will turn to the one woman who has always been at his side to find the happiness he deserves-Fanny. |
