The story takes Elizabeth and Darcy out of their usual circumstances and meeting places. All of the usual villains are part of the story, but their roles are significantly minimized. If you enjoy a low-angst version of Our Dear Couple’s road to Happily Ever After, this may be the book for you.\u003cbr\u003eExcerpt:\u003cbr\u003eMr. Thomas Bennet massaged his temples as his five-day-old daughter again woke and cried in hungry complaint. He and the wet nurse had been on the road for two days with the infant, and his nerves had been strained to their limit by the poor babe’s pitiable circumstance – a mother who could not, rather would not, stand even the sight of her newborn child simply for its misfortune of failing to be born the male heir she desperately desired to save the family’s entailed estate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMrs. Bennet had always been an excitable woman, but her husband had been utterly unprepared for her refusal to feed, hold, or even look at her new daughter. The midwife had informed him that she had witnessed this phenomenon in new mothers before, but never to the degree that his wife had displayed when she had threatened to harm the child if it was not removed from her presence. After two days of trying unsuccessfully to coax Mrs. Bennet to at least view the beautiful child, the father had been forced to take action to secure the tiny girl’s life and future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt must be providential that I heard from my university friend just this week,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Bennet thought.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books Prime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45921421000895,"sku":"485f9312-c18d-49cf-92c4-d61fb3848a8e","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/7550\/7647\/files\/f46f2f687ed0ac347d2711c4dc14558f.jpg?v=1785165899","url":"https:\/\/books-prime.com\/products\/of-adoption-and-acceptance-a-pride-and-prejudice-variation","provider":"Books Prime","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
