Pride and prejudice variation
For review
If you have not noticed (which I doubt), is that I really enjoy pride and prejudice variations. I do not know why but I just love seeing Darcy and Lizzy fall in love, in a million different ways.
In this one instead of writing a letter Darcy went away, married, had a daughter, wasn't that happy, and tried to forget her.
Lizzy's dad died, she went to live with Jane, and then she decided to become a governess. Which is not the best position. It is not being a servant, it i not being one of the upper crust. Instead men can try to take advantage and you will be ruined for future service. Then she gets a job at Pemberley.
He will obvi realise he still likes her. She will finally start to fall for him. There will be drama, and there will be a happily ever after.
I enjoyed this take and kept rooting for these stubborn, proud people. (Bit sad Colonel F did not show up!).
A great book to read now as you know they will be happy
Seven years after Darcy’s disastrous proposal, Darcy is in need, not of a wife, but of a governess for his young daughter. Imagine his surprise when he discovers Elizabeth Bennet on the list of possible candidates provided by the employment agency. The question is, should he take her on as a governess, or would he be playing with fire?
Elizabeth Bennet is forced by her reduced circumstances to take on a position. However, when Mr. Darcy invites her for an interview, she is embarrassed and humiliated. How could she possibly live under the same roof as the man she had rejected so strongly seven years ago?
Whatever decision she makes, there will be a high price to pay… one way or the other.

ReplyDeleteI have not read P&P or any retelling that I remember. This does sound like a nice variation though.
ReplyDeleteI do love them all! SO SO Many
Deletehappy is good enough for now :D
ReplyDelete:D exactly
DeleteIs his wife still alive? I guess not if there's a possibility of romance here. This is a strange take on P&P!
ReplyDeleteNO! Anne died.
DeleteSounds like you really enjoyed it and it all worked out well. Which is what I like!
ReplyDeleteYOu and me both
DeleteI didn't realize a governess was such a bad position to have. Sounds like a good book though.
ReplyDeleteWe think it was good, but they were prey to the Lord of the manor, to guests. They had no rights
DeleteIt's nice to read a book where you know thiings will end well, and I know you like your P&P stories.

DeleteI'm not a P&P fan like you, but this version sounds really interesting - especially since I know it ends well. :-)
ReplyDeleteALways :D I would be so mad if it didnt
