My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In this Pride and Prejudice variation 'plain and not a son' Mary Bennet is the younger twin of Elizabeth, but when the militia and Mr. Collins arrive she decides her family must change and so 'takes charge'. But what effect will this have on her family and her neighbours as she must also change.
A delightful and well-written historical romance story with its enjoyable pairings.

May The Rain Fall Softly On Your Fields by Elin Eriksen
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

"What if Elizabeth had brown eyes while Mr and Mrs Bennet had blue..." This is genetically possible so I don't understand the point of the statement.
A Pride & Prejudice variation starting after the Pemberley visit by the Gardiners and Elizabeth. I found Darcy annoying with his interference in other’s people's marriages. For me too much about the Darcy marriage and not enough about the other more interesting characters.
Though I liked the ending a lot, anther re-read.
Overall an enjoyable story
