ladyhippolyta's review against another edition
2.0
At 50% read I couldn't bear to read on. All characters are the very worst, most unlikable versions of themselves, which just makes it unbearable. The characterisations are completely off and in some cases contradictory, and the "love story" barely existent. As far as P&P variations go, I would not recommend this one.

Wow, so not what I was expecting. This book is described as a sweet read. While there are some elements of sweetness, like the way E and D fall in love, there is far more darkness to this story. Manipulations, tempers, abuse and profound greed are the main undercurrents. Not to mention those ineffective in standing up for what's right and for loved ones.
However, I couldn't put it down. And have already begun the 2nd volume. I hope it and the 3rd vol don't disappoint!

In this Pride and prejudice variation problems start for Darcy and his Fitzwilliam family when he fails to arrive at Ramsgate to stop his sister from eloping with Wickham.
To save face he is persuaded to let Colonel Richard Fitzwilliam search for them alone while he visits Netherfield Park, and in his haste to arrive (the day after the assembly) he nearly kills Elizabeth Bennet. The scene is set but can there be a happy ending for any of these characters.
An enjoyable re-read of the story, which continues into Book 2
