The Winter of Our Discontent: A Pride and Prejudice Variation by Grace Gibson. ★★★★★

I'll admit it, I'm a sucker for an angst filled pride and prejudice variation. And this is a doozy!

Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy are forced to marry, following a compromise at the Meryton Assembly.

Mr Bennet disowns Elizabeth and sends her younger sisters to a harsh boarding school. It makes Lowood school in Jane Eyre look cushy.

Darcy is convinced that Elizabeth and her family are gold diggers. His distain and bitterness know no bounds.

At Pemberley, Elizabeth finds some allies and some antagonists. Thank the good Lord that Georgiana loves her.

It takes a long time for Darcy to be reconciled to the marriage but when threatened with losing Elizabeth, his behaviour changes.

This Darcy becomes the sweetest husband and we receive a delightful happy ever after, as expected.

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
