Book Reviews of Impulse & Initiative: A Pride & Prejudice Variation
Book Review: A Pride and Prejudice What if Scenario!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a Pride and Prejudice possiblity. It is not in the style of Jane Austen. Abigail Reynolds has a style all of her own. It does have some scenes that are not suitable for younger people to read and might be a little awkward if you buy this for your grandmother. So be carfeul who you buy this for.
That aside, it is such a wonderful story. I love the story Pride and Prejudice and what could be better than to have that story retold and taking a different path than the original?
This story starts with Colonel Fitzwilliam trying to find out why his cousin is so out of spirits. After finding out that it concerns Miss Elizabeth Bennet of Hertfordshire and that Darcy after two months is still loving her. He scolds him for not attempting to win her a second time. He also berates him for not setting things right with Charles Bingley.
Elizabeth is at home, thinking often about Mr. Darcy's letter and when she least expects it, the man himself returns, with Charles Bingley! Of course she feels agitated and unsure of how to act.
I will not divulge any more of this wonderful plot for you. You will have to read it yourself. Just a couple of teasers though:
Can Darcy and Elizabeth(who never have a conversation without arguing) converse civily, hide their true feelings, or even become friends?
How does Darcy keep his attentions for Elizabeth secret from Mrs. Bennet or the very jealous Caroline Bingley?
I do however, recommend being familiar with Pride and Prejudice before reading this book as you can only really appreciate this story by knowing the orignal course it is suppose to take.
