I’ve read a number of Pride and Prejudice retellings/spinoffs/whatever and this was a really good one. My only complaint was the epilogue: I really dislike the far-future epilogues that insist on telling you how everyone ends up dying decades later. I do not care; it is not related to the story. This one was particularly annoying to me for some reason. But the rest of the book was great! I loved that Anne got a story to herself, and I like how the author spun her illness. The fact that she got outside out of her situation and took charge of her life was incredibly satisfying.

I really enjoyed this book, it’s light and interesting. I’d recommend it for any Pride and Prejudice fan. It’s an 19th century sapphic novel. I love period pieces that are queer stories. I enjoyed the writing style, it’s even paced and descriptive. I can put myself in the main character’s shoes.

This was a captivating story of a character from Pride and Prejudice- Anne de Bourge. As an infant she was very sickly, so the doctor put her on laudanum (a tincture of opium) to keep her calm. She more likely had a bad case of colic. She continued on this regimen throughout her childhood. She has a very controlling mother and relatively inattentive father. She later decides to blow off this medicine to gain control of her life. Also, she is an heir to a great fortune and has been betrothed to Fitzwilliam (Mr. Darcy).
This was an interesting reimagining of Anne from Pride and prejudice. I love stories from this time period and the author did a spectacular job with the development and growth of this character.
