My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In this Pride and Prejudice variation, Elizabeth Bennet is in mourning, and Darcy is engaged to Caroline Bingley when they meet at the Meryton Assembly. So how can they ever reach a happy ending.
An enjoyable and well-written story which for me only got interesting with a couple of sentences in the epilogue. Another re-read.
