Decisions and Consequences: A Pride & Prejudice Variation by Zoe Burton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In this Pride and Prejudice variation circumstances have led Darcy to look for a wife who is above everything else, honest. It will not matter whether they like each other especially. And so Darcy is off to join Bingley at Netherfield.
I enjoyed the story, though not too sure about the premise behind Darcy's thoughts. Though I would have liked a lot more about Jane and Mary's relationships, especially Mary.
Another enjoyable re-read.
