Summary

It is a truth universally acknowledged that one false step can involve a lady in endless ruin. On a rainy November day in 1811, Miss Elizabeth Bennet finds herself wondering why no one ever bothered to tell her about this.

A few blithe steps on a morning walk taken after a succession of rain lead to unexpected events that irrevocably change the course of Elizabeth's life, placing her fate in the hands of the haughty and conceited Mr. Darcy - the last man in the world she had ever thought to marry.

As long winter days slowly pass, she writes letters to her loved ones, trying to come to terms with her new role as a wife and the Mistress of Pemberley. But can she ever learn to love her husband? Will he overcome his arrogant notions of rank and circumstance?

And most importantly - will the shades of Pemberley ever recover from being thus polluted?

This novella is based on the beloved characters of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.

The single viewpoint of Elizabeth was very limiting. I feel like a lot of interactions/dialogue were missing and this lessened my overall enjoyment of the story.
