Gr 8 Up–A fun spin on Pride and Prejudice, centering Darcy and Elizabeth’s sisters, Georgiana and Kitty respectively, as the romantic leads. Georgiana has come to reside with her brother and wife in order to escape scandal—but not the kind Darcy thinks it is. When Kitty comes to visit, Georgiana is immediately drawn to her and so does her best to stay away. However, the two women are clearly on a collision course with potential disaster: Regency era England is not kind to those straying outside of societal norms. Edwards provides an excellent take on a classic, drawing secondary characters to the forefront and telling their love story. The novel is populated with the classic personas from Pride and Prejudice, who are given a modern outlook on life in Regency England. Characters cue white.
VERDICT A thoughtful and enticing romance, perfect for anyone searching for tales of hidden longing and true love.
