❤️‍🩹 An Affectionate Heart ❤️‍🩹A Pride and Prejudice Variation✒️ Heather Moll🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Will they be forever contented with only the bargain they made for the safety of their common interest ….When I am sick, I never made friend with the humid Corsican weather, I usually reverse to read a favorite book or settle for a tale I will know from the beginning to bring out the right comforting sentiments.And as the upcoming release date for this one is not so far away, I was happy to discover this version of the infamous Austen’s masterpiece.My only regret is my foggy brain will not be able to give the right Justice to this book. Even more when I checked before my read the few informations I found about this book.I did not know Montgomery’s The Blue Castle, so I googled it and found I have read McCullough’s retelling, The Ladies of Missalonghi in my early twenties without knowing of its inspiration.A book I still remember decades later, quite a feat.So it was with this kind of contentment of a good moment in front of me that I settled on the couch with this new read.This is a longer book than I expected, even more for my foggy brain, but I devoured it and loved it. It has everything to be a read to remember like its distinguished parent.And even when knowing where the plot would lead the tormented heroes, I wondered how the author would bring them together, and how everything would unfold.Elizabeth is a mere shadow of her witty full quips self, she struggles swung from one sibling’s home to another, always reminded she is the poor useless kin, belittled for simply breathing and existing simply because she “failed” to marry.Darcy is a man tortured by his guilt and his need to exert revenge for his sister’s ill treatment. And while still a devoted brother, he is eaten in the inside by his secrets, as Lizzie is by her abusive family.When they first meet is still under the omens of each finding the other’s disagreeable for the forsaken future, but united in their love for Darcy’s sister, Georgiana, they set a pace.Darcy is still the proud man he is well known to be, passing judgement (with some reasons) on Elizabeth’s relatives, but able also to make the difference between those faulty of meanness and others of carelessness without intention of hurting. Elizabeth is ore subdued but her fast mind is never far, even when she is obligated by her circumstances to restrain herself from retorting.Still, when together, they can be themselves, sharing their pain, expressing their sorrows.But when secrets are revealed and conditions change, will the burgeoning sentiments between them shatter or be strong enough to weather these new developments.I love how every detail was brought together to paint this elaborated revisit of two great stories all the while being fair to the heroes and giving them the closure they both needed before the beginning of the rest of their life.An epilogue would have been most welcome, but it is only me and my love for an insight of the future beyond the famous They lived happily ever after.5 stars𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 sweet onscreen lovemaking scenes.
