From Delaford To Barton A Tale of Colonel Brandon: A Story Inspired by Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility
"Brandon is just the kind of man' said Willoughby one day when they were talking of him together',' whom everybody speaks well of, and nobody cares about; whom all are delighted to see, and no one remember to talk to." Jane Austen ~ Sense and Sensibility
He is dark and brooding, always carefully tucked in a corner. There is a wall around what is left of his heart that keeps everyone out. Little is known of Colonel Brandon's history, his best friend John Middleton is his only confidant. Meet Christopher Brandon as a child at Delaford and watch him grow into a young man full of hope and love only to see it taken from him so cold-heartedly. What happens to man thrust into a foreign war? Can these events explain his solitude and solemnity? Will a young ward and the Dashwood family change him forever?
Second Edition, with all-new chapters and expanded content.

Not bad but a tad elementary
The beginnings of the book were promising. The body of it moved rather slowly and it seemed like at the end, the author just wanted to resolve everything. It seemed a bit hastened. The idea had promise, but it was sort of fluffy and left me less than satisfied.

The Author is not a writer
...and you can really tell when you read this book. The story has no flow, it jumps from one scene to the next...there is no charcter deelopment no depth at all and no climax either. A real shame as Colonel Brandon is such a great character to work with...Spare yourself and save your time and money.
