Responsibility and Resentment: A Pride and Prejudice Variation (Darcy and Elizabeth: Paths to Understanding) by Melissa Anne
A conversation that changes everything ... What if Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy spoke honestly to each other in Kent and clarified any misconceptions prior to his making his proposal? What would happen if Mr Bennet made an ill-fated attempt to resolve the issue of the entail only to create a much bigger problem for his family and Mrs Bennet were even more of a shrew than in canon? What if Mr Bennet had a secret reason to encourage the couple to marry quickly and before returning home? Will they ever be able to overcome the resentment that results from Mr Bennet's manipulations or from Mrs Bennet's subsequent behaviours? Join Our Dear Couple as they find happiness together sooner than in canon, but still have to fight against outside influences that seek to destroy it before and after their wedding. A story where responsibility is accepted by some and shirked by others, leading to resentment that requires effort to overcome. Will it be enough?
