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

4.0

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.
