Produktbeschreibung

In the course of 1811, the Bennets of Longbourn meet two sets of estranged relatives: Mr Bennet's unprepossessing heir, and his mother's family. Elizabeth Bennet journeys into Kent to stay with the Palmers at Wingham Hall: her grand-aunt Iphigenia, her cousin Sir James Palmer, who had loved her grandmother ardently in his youth, and his son Galahad. Pleased with her new relations, Elizabeth is less content with the taciturn friend Galahad has invited to join him at Wingham. Fitzwilliam Darcyrich and proud, disdainful of those beneath himhas escorted his sister Georgiana to Ramsgate, to recuperate from a dangerous illness in the care of her companion, Mrs Younge.

Complications arise with the arrival of Elizabeth's sister Jane and, separately, Charles and Caroline Bingley, the authors of Jane's unhappiness. Tensions and quarrels result in the Bingleys' abrupt departure, swiftly followed by Darcy after a maladroit proposal that Elizabeth spurns with a pride that matches his own.

Unfortunately, Darcy leaves Kent just as his enemy, George Wickham appears, intent on securing Georgiana and her fortune. Who will stand between Georgiana and ruin? Who will win Jane Bennet's hand? And can Darcy and Elizabeth ever be reconciled?

Autorenporträt

Once I used to do communications work for the UK government, in a variety of departments that saw me do things as diverse as managing national TV campaigns and an internal TV service delivered through everyone's desktop PC. These days I live a much quieter life with my husband in a pretty Georgian vicarage deep in the Nottinghamshire countryside, and I am writing full time. I'm supported in that endeavour not only by the tolerant Mr Winter (bless him!), but also by the Deputy Editor, aka Molly the cockerpoo, who's assisted by the lovely Mavis, a Yorkie-Bichon cross with a bark several sizes larger than she is, but no opinion whatsoever on the placement of semi-colons.

I have been a lover of Jane Austen's works for most of my life. I know it is appalling cheek to use even a fraction of Jane's 'little bit of ivory', but I hope she will forgive me. My only excuse is that of all literary heroines, Lizzy Bennet is the one I wanted to be. Writing Pride and Prejudice variations is the closest I shall ever come.
