Pemberley's Christmas Governess: A Pride and Prejudice Holiday Vagary by Regina Jeffers ★★★★★
When Elizabeth Bennet refused to marry her father’s heir, the odious Mr Collins, she could not have imagined how life would change.
When her father died suddenly, her family lost their place in society and their home. Her sisters now live as poor relations, separated between relatives.
Out of guilt, Elizabeth eased the burden on her family by taking employment. She has spent five years, living a lonely life, working as a governess. When she is importuned by the son of her employer, she is dismissed without a reference.
A guest at the house offers transport and a Christmas working holiday with his family at Pemberley.
There she meets Fitzwilliam Darcy, wealthy widower, with an infant daughter. He is captivated by the young lady, despite her reduced circumstances
The kindness Elizabeth experiences from both staff and the family renews her faith in humanity.
Could she find love too?
Lovely story, with the usual combination of misunderstandings, angst and joy. Well worth a read.
