The New Vogue has changed everything, or so society claims. Wealthy women now keep accomplished gentlemen on their own terms, and the old rules of matrimony have been neatly inverted. But some things remain stubbornly unchanged: the entail on Longbourn still stands, and when their father dies, Elizabeth Bennet and her sisters will lose everything to the odious Mr. Collins.When William Darcy arrives in Hertfordshire, proud, penniless, and constitutionally opposed to being any woman's kept man, Elizabeth finds him insufferable. He finds her impertinent. They are, in this respect, perfectly matched in their mutual irritation.But the charming Wickham is working quietly against them both, and Mr. Collins has his own designs on Longbourn's future. As Elizabeth's certainties begin to crack and Darcy's pride wages war with something he didn't expect to feel, they must each reckon with the oldest question in any age: whether what you've decided about a person is true, or only what you needed to believe.A sharp, warm re-imagining of Austen's beloved novel, one that turns the economics of marriage inside out and finds that the heart's negotiations are just as complicated as ever.
