Summary

Mr. Bennet discovers his days are numbered, so he immediately begins to set his affairs - and his five unmarried daughters - in order. Knowing they will fare best should at least one of them find a suitable husband, he cannot refuse any respectable suitors.

The high-spirited Elizabeth suspects something isn't right in the halls of Longbourn, but nothing prepares her for a certain haughty gentleman from Derbyshire. While Mr. Darcy is exceedingly wealthy and handsome, in Elizabeth's eyes, he is also proud, high-handed, and insulting. And unfortunately, desperately in love with her.

Suddenly, Elizabeth is forced to rethink her previous opinions. And accept a choice she never had the chance to make.

Gentle story, wonderful narration

A very different P & P vagary touched with sadness but redolent with love, hope and joy.

New twist on the old story

Slightly more original than most of these variations. Enjoyable. I only wonder why we didn't get to hear Lady Catherine's views on the engagement?

A beautifully gentle variation

There are no villains or contrived situations to force them apart, just two people learning about each other and growing gradually closer. There are the inevitable misunderstandings and arguments between such strong-willed individuals, but they're dealt with in a mature way and talked out before they can cause a massive rift between them. Although Darcy truly loves Elizabeth from the start, he has just as much to learn as she does and it's a real pleasure to see them move from their shaky beginning to a loving relationship between equals.
