| Publisher Description: -A Pride and Prejudice Variation- When the eligible Mr Charles Bingley finally takes possession of Netherfield Park, he is found to be everything desirable in a man: wealthy, handsome, agreeably mannered, and yet too late to pursue the lovely Jane Bennet who has betrothed herself to Mr Collins for the sake of her family's estate. Her sister, Elizabeth, is distraught over the engagement, and although aware of an unspoken attraction between Jane and Mr Bingley, she is powerless to alter her sister's inevitable future without encouraging a scandal. Elizabeth's displeasure is often manifest by way of general complaint to the even wealthier and more distinguished Mr Fitzwilliam Darcy, who confesses a propensity for offending wherever he goes. Despite assurances that Jane has made a most suitable match, Elizabeth is determined never to marry for mere security and familial obligations, but her sharp wit and biting tongue produce obstacles in making a fortunate alliance of her own. |
