About this listen
Upon her return to Longhorn she attends the Assembly where Mr. Darcy very much does not act the gentleman.
This is the story of a young woman overcoming all that is thrown at her, metaphorically. Caroline Bingley did not literally throw something at Elizabeth, however much she was tempted.
This is variation on the classic story, with accurate historical details.

Story
This is the 2nd edition of this book, updated for minor typos and formatting. It is the same book as published in 2023, it is not a new book. At the age of 13 Elizabeth Bennet met her reclusive neighbours and from that moment her life was changed forever. She learned the realities of life in Regency England for a young woman. What she learned disappointed and annoyed her, resulting in a young woman who held herself, and those around her, to a high standard. Rather than keep her constrained like so many young women, her neighbours encouraged her to be whatever she wanted. And if she wanted ...

Story
Pride & Prejudice meets Groundhog Day This low angst story is about the repeated efforts that Mr. Darcy goes through to marry Elizabeth Bennet. Darcy has to deal with all the extraneous distractions, mainly people, that get in the way of courting Elizabeth. Many tropes are indulged, many arts and allurements are employed, and annoying relatives are given short shrift. Unabashedly Happy Ever After.
