When Elizabeth Bennet first knew Mr. Darcy, she despised him and was sure he felt the same. Angered by his pride and reserve, influenced by the lies of the charming Mr. Wickham, she never troubled herself to believe he was anything other than the worst of men--until, one day, he unexpectedly proposed. Mr. Darcy's passionate avowal of love causes Elizabeth to reevaluate everything she thought she knew about him. What she knows is that he is rich, handsome, clever, and very much in love with her. She, on the other hand, is poor, and can expect a future of increasing poverty if she does not marry. The incentives for her to accept him are strong, but she is honest enough to tell him that she does not return his affections. He says he can accept that--but will either of them ever be truly happy in a relationship of unequal affection? Diverging from Jane Austen's classic novel Pride and Prejudice at the proposal in the Hunsford parsonage, this story explores the kind of man Darcy is, even before his "proper humbling," and how such a man, so full of pride, so much in love, might have behaved had Elizabeth chosen to accept his original proposal.… (mais)

Excellent alternative ending, stays true to the characters and to the spirit of the original. Uses original quotes in new context in a really clever way! ( )

In this Pride and Prejudice variation Darcy's proposal goes as planned but Elizabeth does not respond in anger but with consideration. She asks and gets time to think about her answer. Will she accept or do her feelings about Darcy's prevent her from saying yes?
Loved this and read it in one sitting. ( )

At first I felt like a cliché picking this book up, plus I was afraid it'd ruin the original. BUT I'm so glad I stuck with it! The premise of the twist on the original plot is interesting. And the writing is engaging. Plus the way she developed the characters it felt true to the spirit of the original. It was such a fun read! One of the best adaptations I've come across ( )

This was really great--definitely one of the better published P&P what if style fan fics out there. The writing style is solid, the pacing is great and there's just enough change without totally destroying each characters basic personality.

This is a solid "What if Lizzy said yes at or near Hunsford". I can't say much more without giving it away, but it was sweet and fraught with how real people would likely deal with certain stresses. It was really fun to see both of them understand each other in small but important realizations along the way.

If you like a twist in canon, pick this one up. ( )

Cuesta bastante acostumbrarse a la historia (y a esta prosa tan diferente a la de Jane Austen) pero después del quinto capitulo, todo lo que propone la autora es bastante logico y acorde a la personalidad de Darcy, aunque no tanto de Elizabeth- sobre todo las razones por las cuales acepta casarse en un principio. No me imagino a Lizzy diciendole que si a Darcy , menos en esa escena clásica del libro! . Pero, en fin, una vez que sobrevivis a ese comienzo, lo que sigue es aceptable y entretenido, tanto si sos fan del clásico (pero no si sos DEMASIADO fan) , como si nunca lo leiste.

Lo que mas me gusto fue como le evitan a Lydia lo que le pasa en la historia original. Sobre todo como se le da , mas o menos, la comprensión que merece. Después de todo, es una adolescente --no hay demasiado discernimiento ni concepción del mundo mas allá de uno mismo cuando se es adolescente. Sigue siendo un personaje irritante, obvio, pero puesto en un contexto mas favorable. ( )
