Suppose Elizabeth Bennet never visited Pemberley…

It is October of 1812. Elizabeth Bennet and her family have seen dramatic changes in the past few months—none of them welcome. Her sister Jane needs a fresh start, and Elizabeth is no less eager to leave behind the pain and confusion of not accepting Mr. Darcy’s proposal.

Fitzwilliam Darcy has not seen Elizabeth since he offered for her—and she adamantly refused him. When she appears in London, he is determined to gain her friendship and make amends. When a carriage mishap throws them together, Darcy does all he can to demonstrate his changed behavior.

Though their renewed acquaintance seems to be growing into a genuine friendship, a family secret constrains Elizabeth. As she falls deeper in love with the man she rejected, does she dare tell him the truth?

Excellent!

This is one of the most delightful and exemplary variations I’ve read so far. Short but satisfactory, catered to JAFF readers who constantly need their dose of Pride and Prejudice but do not have the luxury of time. Focuses on the beloved couple and their love affair, yet gives some significance to the development and improvement of many secondary characters: Bingley finally develops a backbone, Jane proves to be steadfast and forgiving, Mrs. Bennet’s behavior and impropriety becomes a test to the Darcys’ tolerance and patience (hence her merit), and Georgiana Darcy is surprisingly mature and strong in this story, which is a pleasant change. What is most remarkable is that whatever circumstance Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet find each other: may they be thrown together by a carriage breakdown/fate or by purpose/design, one feels the inevitable of their happy ending. Love truly conquers the negative emotions that lovers feels (hate/anger/indecision/anxieties) and the passage of time. If it’s meant to be, it will be.

Fitzwilliam Darcy is quite a commendable character here, much improved than most variations. He is expressively honest towards the end which results in exchanges which are endearing and swoon-worthy. No wonder Elizabeth responded the way she did when he asked, “Am I welcome?” The way Elizabeth realizes her love for the gentleman she previously rejected and the way she suffered from her regrets are heart-tugging and memorable. Also, there are these sweet and emotional exchanges between the Darcy siblings which are quite remarkable and hardly depicted in other variations.

Finally, this is one is well-written and concise. Everything fits and important, and no words are wasted. Highly recommended!!!

This is a Very Enjoyable Novel

Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2021

Darcy is oh so patient, Lizzy is embarrassed by Lydia's "situation". Lizzy realizes with regret that she misunderstood Darcy and told him he was the last man she would ever marry, when instead he was the only one. But she can't tell him that. He loves her still. But he can't tell her that. He tries to stay away from her to not make her unhappy - but they continuously are thrown together. In the mix Darcy fixes things in his way. Lizzy appreciates him and knows him better. They continue to distrust the other's feelings and push away while actually liking each other more and more. Caroline Bingley spills the beans on the Bennett secret, thinking now she will get Darcy and she gets a quick trip to London, not to be seen in the book again. Nice. I enjoyed this book with the glances and the needing time to process and think - always being disrupted by others...

Wonderful

Another fine work by a talented author. The story begins after the disastrous proposal at Hunsford parsonage, after Elizabeth receives the letter from Darcy and has time to start regretting her refusal, and after Lydia goes to Brighton with the Forsters and the militia. In this version, Lydia and Wickham are caught in the act of trying to elope, and are forced by Colonel Forster and Mr Bennett to marry in order to save her reputation and that of her sisters. The marriage is done quietly, and Darcy has no knowledge of it, and no involvement. Jane and Elizabeth go to stay with the Gardiners in London, Jane nursing her broken heart over Bingley's desertion, and Elizabeth trying to accept that there's no hope of a reunion with Darcy since Wickham is now part of her family.

Reading a JAFF variation that begins after the disastrous proposal at Hunsford is always kind of nice, in that the reader doesn't have to go through all of the acrimony that occurs in the first half of the original P&P. At this point, Darcy already loves Elizabeth, and Elizabeth is figuring out how wrong she was about Darcy, and is softened up considerably. A story like this can dive right into the romance, and that's very satisfying. I like Darcy's determination to win Elizabeth, I like Georgiana's increased involvement and her increased backbone, I like Elizabeth's more humble attitude, and I like Bingley's increased backbone.

My only reservation about the story was the Wessex character, who at first provided a source of jealousy for Darcy, but ended up being a candidate for Georgiana's affection. For me, this was just a little icky, since Georgiana was barely sixteen, and Wessex was not even twenty-one. I felt that this was an unnecessary issue, best to have just left them as friendly acquaintances. For a girl who's supposed to be extremely shy, and not even out yet, why conjecture at the end about their future marital prospects? Yuck.

However, the book is well written and well edited. I recommend it highly.

Simpatica novella Austin esca, I cui personaggi sono ben ritagliati e simili a quelli di P&P. La storia non si discosta molto dall'originale, fatta eccezione per alcuni punti, che non vengono particolarmente considerati.

A quick pleasant read

The story has no villains and minimal angst- whatever angst there is due to insecurities and self doubts.
The story starts six months after Hunsford, the separation has tempered away his pride and her prejudices leaving both Darcy and Elizabeth with regrets.. and when they first meet in London Elizabeth is all ready to fall in love and Darcy all over again.. and promptly do so :)
There is lot of ODC time together and sweet interactions.. making this an interesting story. My only quibble was that in the absence of any real impediment it felt as if Darcy was dragging his feet unnecessarily ...for far too long even though story span was less than 2 months !Still I enjoyed the story a lot
As an aside though am no expert I feel it should be Misses Bennet and not Miss Bennets as has been used in the story quite a few times

Delightful and well balanced

Reviewed in Germany on March 24, 2021

Noticeably well edited and composed. The wicked Wickham was left to the side lines where he belongs. I enjoyed the twist that Darcy was not directly responsible of initiating the reconnection of Charles and Jane. I personally would have chosen the name Wessex differently, because the name implies that he belongs to the peerage. But then again, his castle in Scotland implies the same (at least in those time).

a gentle low angst story.

3.5* rounded up.

This is a sweet low angst story; generally well edited and tidily written making for a pleasant read.

Too flawed to be enjoyable

Reviewed in Germany on March 6, 2021

Verified Purchase

The story is well written but there is no plot to speak of. It might have been concluded way sooner if d and e ever actually listened to each other. Often in their interior monologues they are making conjectures about feelings which were literally expressed in the previous dialogue. This makes the story unnecessarily long only to wrap up too quickly without an epilogue. Not really worth the effort.
