The Pink Daffodil: Variations on a Jane Austen Christmas by Elizabeth Rasche
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In this Pride and Prejudice variation the Bingley party due to a broken carriage are still at Netherfield. As Christmas approaches it gives Mary Bennet the chance, in her pride and arrogance, to show off her Christian charity. But she becomes distracted by a Mr Arthur, friend of Darcy and Bingley.
But can she soften her character enough, not to betray her real self, but still be able to improve and show some of her hidden character.
A delightful and entertaining well-written variation. Another re-read.

(Though I do wish authors would get it right - Mary Bennet does not wear glasses in P&P so why portray her doing so in a story.)
