Trapped for three days by a flood, and trapped forever by society because of it....The river isn't the only thing overflowing in Hunsford when a natural disaster forces Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy to work together. The residents of flood-stricken Hunsford, seeking refuge in the parsonage atop the hill, are unaware they are interrupting Darcy's disastrous proposal. Even worse, the flood has washed out the only bride to Rosings Park, stranding Darcy with the woman who has just refused his offer of marriage. But it may already be too late to redeem Elizabeth's reputation....In this Pride & Prejudice variation, the lane dividing the Hunsford parsonage from Rosings Park has been replaced by one of the flood-prone Kentish rivers. The storms are real - the spring of 1811 was remarkable for numerous thunderstorms in Southeast England.
This was another really fun Pride & Prejudice Variation by Abigail Reynolds. I have enjoyed all her Pride & Prejudice Variations so far although some have been better than others. I enjoyed seeing Darcy with the Gardiners and his relationship with them in this book. I also loved Richard (Colonel Fitzwilliam) in this book and was glad he was in it as much as he was. Lady Matlock was also a lot of fun in this story but unfortunately Lord Matlock was as bad as Lady Catherine. I look forward to reading more Pride & Prejudice Variations by Abigail Reynolds in the future.
