Summary

Darcy is surprised that Elizabeth has won the friendship of his unusual sister, and he is shocked when he begins to fall for her as well。

Mr。 Darcy feels guilty that he was not there to prevent Mr。 Bingley from marrying Jane Bennet, who no doubt was only after his money。 As to their upcoming stay at Pemberley, surely if he can tolerate Caroline Bingley, than he can tolerate Jane’s sister, Elizabeth, as well。

When the Bingleys and Elizabeth visit, Darcy's peculiar sister Georgiana finds Miss Bennet to be a delightful companion。 As Elizabeth helps Darcy to understand and appreciate his sister, he realizes the handsome Miss Bennet is an admirable woman。

Caroline Bingley, Catherine de Bourgh and George Wickham plot to achieve their own selfish goals。 Even as these threats arise, love whispers to Elizabeth and Darcy to overcome their pride and prejudice。

StrangeI will caveat this by saying my personal preference is to see ODC be the center of the story。 Others may enjoy major tangents with secondary characters。 I generally do not。 Here, the focus is on an autistic Georgiana and her fixation with。。 peafowl。 So, ultimately, it’s not my cup of tea。 At first it is charming to see Elizabeth deftly handle Georgiana’s peculiarities and gain Darcy’s admiration in the process。 But after it becomes clear that the story will have no more depth than that, I StrangeI will caveat this by saying my personal preference is to see ODC be the center of the story。 Others may enjoy major tangents with secondary characters。 I generally do not。 Here, the focus is on an autistic Georgiana and her fixation with。。 peafowl。 So, ultimately, it’s not my cup of tea。 At first it is charming to see Elizabeth deftly handle Georgiana’s peculiarities and gain Darcy’s admiration in the process。 But after it becomes clear that the story will have no more depth than that, I began to lose interest。 All of Darcy’s and Elizabeth’s interactions revolve around Georgiana on some level。 We’re told there’s a romance but we’re not shown。 We ARE shown, ad nauseam, imagery of peacock feathers and sundry other wildlife and accompanying trivia。。 but actual human emotion (other than Georgiana’s “inappropriate” displays) amongst all these natural wonders is sparse at best。 When Darcy and Elizabeth do come together as a couple it’s almost by rote。As far as the biblical undertones, as I’ve said in other reviews, I’m not offended by Christian themes at all, IF executed well。 But to throw in lines about God and prayer, seemingly just for the sake of it, is rather cloying when done in repetition。 What exactly is the point of this if it’s not going to be explored more fully in the plot or internal dialogue?The inclusion of explicit detail of Wickham and his accomplice’s punishment and outcome was unnecessary to my mind。 As was all the detail in the epilogue concerning characters that were never a significant part of the story to begin with。 All in all a strange read that I will not pick up again。 。。。more

BeautifulI had the pleasure of reading this story as it was being written。 I loved its evolution! What a unique take on this familiar theme!Everyone of our characters are present, but the story centers on Georgianna being "unique" and how this would have changed the storyline。 They do not give her a label, but she reminds me of my friend's laughter with who has Asperger Syndrome。This story is wonderful and I cannot recommend this author enough。 Enjoy!!

Fabulous An unusual and rather engaging variation inspired by author Jane Austen’s classic novel Pride and Prejudice by Laraba Kendig。 I absolutely loved that one of our cast was neurodivergent!
