With … accident. With Mr Bennet unconscious and surrounded by concerned neighbors, Mr Collins presses his suit. Elizabeth’s mother frantically demands her acceptance to secure the familiy’s welfare. With so many witnesses to his proposal and everyone expecting her to make a practical choice, Elizabeth’s reputation hangs in the balance.

I loved this retelling. The characters come to life and the author creates new depths of development and understanding. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
An interesting lifestyle.
Pride and Prejudice rewritten, with more depth to characters in this adaptation that stays true to the original. A fun read.
