Description
A Pride and Prejudice variation.
Mr. Darcy hopes Christmastime will help him to forget the pair of fine eyes he left behind in Hertfordshire. When Elizabeth Bennet appears unexpectedly in London, Darcy decides to keep his distance, resolved to withstand his attraction to her. But when he learns Wickham is threatening to propose to Elizabeth, Darcy faces a crisis.
For her part, Elizabeth does not understand why the unpleasant master of Pemberley insists on dancing with her at the Christmas ball or how his eyes happen to seek her out so often. She enjoys Mr. Wickham’s company and is flattered when he makes her an offer of marriage. On the other hand, Mr. Darcy’s proposal is unexpected and unwelcome.
But the more Elizabeth learns of Mr. Darcy, the more confused she becomes – as she prepares to make the most momentous decision of her life.
It’s a yuletide season of love and passion as your favorite characters enjoy Christmas at Darcy House!
Rosemary HUGHES –
Irrespective of what variation, Darcy and Elizabeth seem to fit together, like a hand in a glove.
Hard to say if I enjoyed this version more than the original.
I listened to the audiobook of this title, and found the narrator did a “rather bang up job” of the various characters vocalizations. It does add so much more to the tale.
