The Heiress: The Revelations of Anne de Bourgh by Molly Greeley

4.0

A rather lovely side novel to Pride and Prejudice which is a favored classic. Anne de Bough was a sickly baby and prescribed laudanum to sooth her ills. As an adult, she remains taking the opium based medicine everyday unable to break free from its grip and also without a grip on reality.

This is until she makes a break from her mother’s care in the country and travels to her cousin’s house in London, here is finally able to wean herself off of the medicine that has held her back from her life.

A beautifully written book about Anne’s trials to fit into society that she has been on the outside of all her adult life, where she finds friendship and love in another young lady.

This complemented Pride and Prejudice really well, I would look forward to reading more by this author.
