The Long Road to Longbourn: A Pride and Prejudice Variation

By R. Sidney Bowen

Book Overview

Fitzwilliam Darcy has nearly everything a gentleman could want. Looks, wealth, connections. He lacks but one aspect of a perfect life, a bride. He's chosen Miss Elizabeth Bennet to fill the role but when he proposes, to his utmost chagrin, she refuses him in no uncertain terms. His heart stomped on by a country miss who is by no societal measure his equal, he can't imagine a worse moment.

Elizabeth Bennet does not care for Mr. Darcy and his highhanded, supercilious ways and wants nothing more to do with him. She hopes, in view of her vehement refusal of his proposal, to never set eyes on him again. After all, a man with Mr. Darcy's pride can hardly be expected to bear her company after the strong words she's issued.

Fate, however, has more plans for Elizabeth and Darcy. The moment before they mean to separate forever, both are abducted and whisked away on a harrowing journey. To save themselves and return home, they must band together to surmount perils, overcome obstacles and decide whom to trust. Join Darcy and Elizabeth on their journey as they take the long road back to Longbourn... and to love.

The Long Road to Longbourn is a Pride and Prejudice variation novel of approximately 75,500 words.

Renata McMann and Summer Hanford began writing Pride and Prejudice Variations together in 2014 and have since become immersed in the amazing world Jane Austen created. Whether you're a fan of Darcy and Elizabeth specifically or of clean Regency Romance in general, you will enjoy both McMann's ability to imagine variations of this classic love story and Hanford's skill in turning these variations of Mr. Darcy, Elizabeth Bennet, and their enduring love into entertaining stories.

READ THIS!!!

Hello, my name is Daniel. I am 27 years old and from Edmonton , Alberta Canada. I just finished reading "Six Battles Every Man Must Win: And the Ancient Secrets You'll Need to Succeed" I have to admit this book changed my life.

A Woman's Perspective

I love this book. My husband owns it and I was intrigued by the title so I picked it up. My first thought after I read it was that every church should buy this book in case loads and give it out to every man in their congregation. This is exactly the book that I was hoping would be written. I talk to alot of women, and I keep hearing over and over again a heartfelt desire to see our husbands quit the complacency and passivity...

Excellent Read For Men

There are few things I like less than Christian books and programs that offer easy answers, for nowhere does God promise that living for Him will be easy. It seems, though, that the Christian world just laps these books up. Those dealing with Christian living seem to be particularly prone to "easy-answerism." Fortunately bestselling author Bill Perkins avoids this concern in his new book entitled Six Battles Every Man Must...

Great for Men's Groups!

I lead a group of Men who are studying this book and it has stimulated the best discussions we have ever had! The concept of battling against spiritual passivity has given us a fresh challenge and new focus. We want to get out of the eddy, going round and round on the edge of the flow of God's work in our lives, families and community. We are encouraging each other to boldly take on each of the battles- for our hearts,...
