The Heiress by Molly Greeley

4.0

I enjoyed this take of a minor character from Pride and Prejudice. Anne de Bourg is a cousin of Darcy and had been betrothed to him from birth. However, as we know, Darcy marries Elizabeth. Anne is not bothered because she is addicted to laudanum. Eventually Anne takes control of her own destiny - this second part has a more compelling storyline but I also loved the dreamy prose of the laudanum years. Very good story. I got an advance review copy from NetGalley and Hodder & Stoughton
