A Delicate Rose: A Pride and Prejudice Variation by Jan Ashton and Justine Rivard ★★★★☆
While Elizabeth and Darcy are still secluded at Darcy House after their wedding, an unwelcome visitor forces their way in.
Lady Catherine de Bourgh has already expressed her disapproval of her nephew's marriage.
Darcy is irate when she demands that Elizabeth accept her tutelage in achieving acceptance in Society.
He is utterly horrified when Elizabeth accepts, as a way to heal the breach in Darcy's family.
However, with the assistance of other members of the family, Elizabeth manages to establish a rapport with the irascible dowager.
For Lady Catherine, the arrival of an old family friend sparks memories of an unrequited love, but is there hope for more in the Autumn of their lives?
Really surprising but delightful denouement.
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
