Epiphany by Jessie Lewis ★★★★★
He also has a vexatious aunt, who insists he was betrothed in infancy to his sickly cousin Anne de Bourgh. Anne believes it, he knows it is untrue.
Darcy recently visited Hertfordshire and met the witty, beautiful and kind Elizabeth Bennet. He has lost his heart to her.
However, he knows it is his duty to marry for rank, fortune and connection. None of which Elizabeth has.
He has dragged himself away to prevent being overwhelmed by his desire to propose.
Darcy is already like a bear with a sore head, when he discovers that his sister has told Anne de Bourgh of his feelings for Elizabeth.
Anne who rarely leaves her home, decides to head for Hertfordshire to see off her rival.
News that his enemy George Wickham, a rake, is paying attention to Anne forces Darcy to return to Hertfordshire to retrieve his cousin.
And so begins a gradual unravelling of misunderstandings and prejudices. Will exposure to the Bennet’s delightful family Christmas, compared with Anne’s appalling behaviour, give Darcy a better perspective on what is truly valuable?
As usual, Jessie Lewis has produced another gem.
