The Vicar's Daughter

A Pride and Prejudice Variation

Elizabeth Bennet knows her family lives on borrowed time.

In this Pride and Prejudice variation, Mr. Bennet serves as vicar of Hunsford parish entirely at Lady Catherine de Bourgh's whim—making the entire Bennet family virtual prisoners of her imperious patronage.

So when mysterious acts of kindness begin blessing the village's struggling families, Elizabeth is determined to discover their anonymous benefactor's identity. The last person she suspects is Mr. Darcy, whose cold manner and silence during his aunt's cruelties mark him as everything she despises about the privileged classes.

As Elizabeth searches for the truth behind these secret charities, she must also confront uncomfortable questions about pride, prejudice, and the possibility that the man she deemed her enemy might be her family's salvation.
