One Little White Lie

A Pride and Prejudice Variation

Attention: Please note that this is the second edition of this book. Apart from an updated formatting, there is no new content for those who have already read or purchased the previous edition.

‘One Little White Lie’ is the third variation of ‘Pride and Prejudice’ by Lyr Newton, the author of the bestselling ‘Mr Darcy’s Household’. It is undoubtedly the most romantic of the three and also the longest.

Most of the story takes place in Kent, where Elizabeth is staying with her friend Charlotte Collins, and Mr Darcy is paying his annual visit to Lady Catherine de Bourgh.

During her stay, Elizabeth becomes acquainted with Lady Catherine’s daughter, Anne de Bourgh, and the two of them form an unlikely friendship. Their companionship provides Elizabeth with a better understanding of both Anne’s and Darcy’s true characters.

Darcy will also have the opportunity to acknowledge his mistakes and make amends, which helps to improve Elizabeth’s opinion of him.

Elizabeth’s growing friendship with Anne causes conflict with Lady Catherine de Bourgh, leading to a heated argument and causing Elizabeth to cut her visit to Kent short. Just before her departure, Elizabeth has a private encounter with Darcy, during which he presents a tentative proposal to her but she assumes the worst and stops him before he can even voice it.

She returns to London with a heavy heart, carrying a mixture of affection, shame, and remorse, forcing herself not to think of Darcy, the man with whom she has fallen in love against her will.

Until unexpected changes and revelations occur and lies are unveiled to reveal the truth.

‘One Little White Lie’ is a clean, sweet story with moderate angst and much romance, recommended for readers of all ages who cannot get enough of Darcy and Elizabeth’s timeless love story.

Very Good Variation and VV is Much Better than Expected

I liked this variation very much. It takes place mostly in Kent and, unusually, creates a friendship between Elizabeth and Anne. Very well-developed story and pretty much in character with Austen. The Virtual Voice - unexpectedly a Male voice - is much better than usual.
