Pride & Precipitance: A Victorian Pride and Prejudice Vagary by Caroline Cartier
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
It is 1847 in this Pride and Prejudice variation where Lady Elizabeth Astley, 25, is a widow of three years, mother to daughter four, with four younger half-sisters, sharing a father in Bennet who she is estranged from. Unfortunately it would seem that Lady Elizabeth Astley is so just perfect, she even has the midas touch as far as money matters go and becomes super rich, which she partly uses to protect her family. Elizabeth is not always likeable but I was interested enough in the possible pairing of Mary to continue reading and start Book Two.
So overall and interesting and entertaining Victorian variation.
