Two sisters, one man. Someone's heart is about to get broken.Elizabeth Bennet quickly realises she has misjudged Mr Darcy. In Kent, she learns first impressions are not always accurate. His proposal is disastrous, insulting even, but when she reads his letter her heart begins to thaw, and her objections and prejudices start to melt away. Elizabeth decides to offer Mr Darcy a sliver of hope, an apology, and a second chance.Yet when he begins to call at Gracechurch Street, determined to become a better man and humbled by Elizabeth's reproofs, he unwittingly stirs the romantic hopes of another lady altogether. Jane Bennet, bereft and confused, rejected by Charles Bingley is fearful of becoming an old maid. She is eager to fall in love with the very first gentleman who takes notice of her, and Mr Darcy's is, after all, everything her mother has wanted for her, rich and handsome, the perfect suitor. Through crowded, industrious Cheapside, to the elegant ballrooms of Mayfair, Mr Darcy chases Elizabeth Bennet, unaware that the quiet unassuming girl who smiles too much, is fully intent on chasing him.
Another keeper in my JAFF collection. I love this book very much. It was hard seeing conflict between Jane and Elizabeth, but it makes for a great story. Another that I would have liked to see go further. Great read, sweet and funny, touching and well-written.
