The Coming of Age of Elizabeth Bennet: A Pride and Prejudice Variation
A Pride and Prejudice VariationThe very worst has happened. Mr Bennet has died, leaving his wife and five young daughters bereft. The family estate, Longbourn, is now lost, entailed away and fifteen-year-old Elizabeth Bennet is to go two hundred miles away to live with strangers.George Darcy, repaying a debt of gratitude, has offered to take her to Pemberley, to live under the mantle of his care and be raised alongside his own daughter, Georgiana.But on the day she is to leave Longbourn forever, young Elizabeth, grieving and confused, runs off into the Hertfordshire countryside. Fitzwilliam Darcy gives chase, telling his father her will have her back in an hour or two. Luck and fate, however, are not on his side and capturing Elizabeth Bennet turns out not only to be more difficult than he could ever have imagined, but events conspire to turn her little adventure into his worst nightmare.The prideful man and the girl prejudiced against him, meet much earlier in this rethinking of Jane Austen's masterpiece. Elizabeth grows up under the ever-watchful eye of Mr Darcy, from fifteen to twenty one. She errs and falters, there are stumbles and trips, but could this 'disobedient little hellion' one day become mistress of Pemberley and the keeper of his heart?

One of my favorites
Published by TTom , 4 years ago
This is one of my favorite JAFF novels. The characters are rich and developed and the story is good. I love books with conversation and character development. I like the witty and playful dialog you get with Elizabeth and Darcy. You get to know Elizabeth on a deeper level, see her mature and see how she falls in love. I wish it had a sequel. I have read it over and over.
