Synopsis

This is a story which is loosely based on Pride & Prejudice. There are many of the same characters, but the circumstances and relationships are very much different. There are a few similarities to Jane Austen’s masterpiece, but they are tangential to the main story line in this book.

Lizzy is not a Bennet, and that fact is known by all right from day one. The story is about her and her family, blood and adoptive, over the years.

On her 18th birthday, Lizzy’s adoptive parents reveal what they know of her birth and the fact that her birthfather was a curate serving on an estate in Bedfordshire. Although no one in her adoptive family makes her feel that way, she starts to question how she will be accepted in society when it is discovered that she comes from rather humble beginnings.

At some stage, her family by blood discovers Elizabeth’s location and we are witness to how the reunion changes her life and that of her adoptive family.

Do Lizzy and Darcy meet and if so when and under what circumstances? Is there a Jane – Bingley connection? These questions and far more are answered as you read the book.

The story is a full lenght novel of about 104,000 words.
