But Mrs Collins carries with her a secret, a peculiar preference, which is destined to turn all her carefully laid plans on their head.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLucas\u003c\/em\u003e is a queer romance, a mock-epistolary novel, and a retelling and continuation of Jane Austen's \u003cem\u003ePride and Prejudic\u003c\/em\u003ee, teeming with Regency references and Sturm und Drang. It is an homage to English literature--and a brazen, revisionist fan fiction. But, first and foremost, it is a love story.
