The Pemberley Ball: A Pride and Prejudice Vagary Novella

by Regina Jeffers and A Lady

Book Overview

Elizabeth Bennet's acceptance of his hand in marriage presents FITZWILLIAM DARCY a hope of the world being different. Elizabeth offers warmth and naturalness and a bit of defiance; but there is vulnerability also. With characteristic daring, she boldly withstood Caroline Bingley's barbs, while displaying undying devotion to her sister Jane. More unpredictably, she verbally fenced with the paragon of crudeness, his aunt, Lady Catherine, and walked away relatively unscathed. One often finds his betrothed self-mockingly entertaining her sisters and friends, and despite Darcy's best efforts, the woman makes him laugh. She brings lightness to his spirit after so many years of grief. Unfortunately for ELIZABETH BENNET, what begins gloriously turns to concern for their future. She recognizes her burgeoning fears as unreasonable; yet, she cannot displace them. She refuses to speculate on what Mr. Darcy will say when he learns she is not the brilliant choice he proclaims her to be. Moreover, she does not think she can submit to the gentleman's staid lifestyle. Not even for love can Elizabeth accept capitulation. Will Elizabeth set her qualms aside to claim 'home' in the form of the man she truly affects or will her courage fail her? Enjoy a bit of mayhem that we commonly call "Happily Ever After," along with three alternate turning points to this tale of love and loss and love again from Austen-inspired author, Regina Jeffers.
