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

5.0

"An extraordinary tale of one woman’s liberation, The Heiress reveals both the darkness and light in Austen’s world, with wit, sensuality, and a deeply compassionate understanding of the human heart."

This is a historical fiction novel based on Pride & Prejudice. Unlike Pride & Prejudice, I adored this book! I thought it was perfectly detailed so as to fully flesh out the characters and create a rich atmosphere. I loved and related to the protagonist's way of interacting with those around her, once she had overcome her struggle with laudanum. The romance between the two women was beautiful and full of passion. This is a novel that I am sure I will be reading again and again.
