OverviewElizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy’s romance comes to life once more in a stunning and truly accessible retelling of Austen’s beloved classic from bestseller Laura Wood. Witty, intelligent Elizabeth Bennet has no desire for a marriage of convenience. And when she meets the handsome, wealthy Mr Darcy, her opinion of him is quickly set: he is aloof, selfish and proud – the last man in the world she would ever marry. Until their paths cross again, and again, and the pair begin to realise that first impressions can be flawed… But as Elizabeth and Darcy become entangled in a dance through the strict hierarchies of society, will there be space for true love to bloom?

Table of ContentsReviewsIt takes real skill to write an abridged version of a classic novel without losing the spirit of the text, but Laura Wood has beautifully truncated Pride and Prejudice to make this wonderful story accessible to a greater breadth of readers. Many of Jane Austen's witty observations and dialogue remain with a few new delightful additions -- NetGalley reviewer I've been wanting to read Pride and Prejudice for *years* but the language is intimidating to even me, an 18 year old English student. While I've been getting better at reading old language, I felt receiving the ARC of this book would be a better starting point than diving straight into the original text. I think this book did a great job making Austen's language more accessible to readers who need it, and I'm now very eager to go read the original text now that I know the plot and characters -- NetGalley reviewer """It takes real skill to write an abridged version of a classic novel without losing the spirit of the text, but Laura Wood has beautifully truncated Pride and Prejudice to make this wonderful story accessible to a greater breadth of readers.
