A fantastic variation! What would happen if instead of declining Darcy so vehemently and angrily, Elizabeth accepted him? I though Ormiston did a fantastic job of exploring this variation - in both new ways and of course still tying in some favourite moments from Austen's original.

It did lag a bit for me, in the second half - a lot of angst and troubles were packed into a month! At times it felt a bit repetitive, and that Elizabeth was missing some of the fire she had - but then she was faced with a fiance, instead of a scorned suitor!

Overall a sweet read, lovely read with a wonderfully portrayed Darcy and Elizabeth.
