Mr. Darcy and the Governess: a Pride and Prejudice variation by Valerie Lennox ★★★☆☆
Her brother Fitzwilliam Darcy came to her rescue but during the encounter, he killed Wickham.
Both Georgiana and Fitzwilliam are forever changed by the events.
Following a collapse of her family’s finances, Elizabeth Bennet takes a job as governess to Georgiana Darcy. However, Pemberley is imposing and grim, Georgiana is troubled, and Fitzwilliam Darcy is secretive and brooding. Can Elizabeth break through their reserve?
I have to say that I am not sure about this one.
Darcy’s behaviour is massively out of character. Georgiana swings from childlike and coquettish. It is an interesting look at post-traumatic stress disorder and the effects of abuse and grooming.
However, it is not a comfortable read.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. All views expressed are my own.
