Anne de Bourgh's Best Friend: A Pride & Prejudice Variation (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798879345087)

This is a story of friendship which defies all the odds, and survives and flourishes regardless of the impediments which arise.

The friendship is born out of an almost tragedy and extreme bravery by one Elizabeth Bennet. In saving the lives of those in peril, she thwarts the designs of one of the villains of this tale and makes an enemy of the person.

As in canon, our Anne is sickly. In this variation it is because she had suffered a bad case of childhood scarlet fever. For the purposes of this story the disease has seriously weakened her cardio-vascular system. It is not a secret her life will not be a long one. We see how our Lizzy, aided by her sisters and others, improve Anne's quality of life and give her friendship and happiness she never thought she would find.

All of the principal characters from canon are present, as well as some of my own invention, including two rather large (and I dare say popular) footmen-guards.

Through Sir Lewis and Anne de Bourgh the Bennets (very different from those in canon) meet the Fitzwilliams and most of the Darcys. Do the connections they make change the initial meeting typically depicted between Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy? How do Lady Catherine, George Wickham, Mrs. Younge, and the Bingleys factor into this story?

The above questions and many more will be answered as you read my tale.

This book is a full length novel of 110,000 words plus.
