This bittersweet \u003ci\u003ePride \u0026amp; Prejudice\u003c\/i\u003e remix follows a trans boy yearning for the freedom to live openly, centering queerness in a well-known story of longing and subverting society's patriarchal and cisheteronormative expectations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLondon, 1812\u003c\/b\u003e. Oliver Bennet feels trapped. Not just by the endless corsets, petticoats and skirts he's forced to wear on a daily basis, but also by society's expectations. The world--and the vast majority of his family and friends--think Oliver is a girl named Elizabeth. He is therefore expected to mingle at balls wearing a pretty dress, entertain suitors regardless of his interest in them, and ultimately become someone's wife. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut Oliver can't bear the thought of such a fate. He finds solace in the few times he can sneak out of his family's home and explore the city rightfully dressed as a young gentleman. It's during one such excursion when Oliver becomes acquainted with Darcy, a sulky young man who had been rude to \"Elizabeth\" at a recent social function. But in the comfort of being out of the public eye, Oliver comes to find that Darcy is actually a sweet, intelligent boy with a warm heart. And not to mention incredibly attractive. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs Oliver is able to spend more time as his true self, often with Darcy, part of him dares begin to hope that his dream of love and life as a man could be possible. But suitors are growing bolder--and even threatening--and his mother is growing more desperate to see him settled into an engagement. Oliver will have to choose: Settle for safety, security, and a life of pretending to be something he's not, or risk it all for a slim chance at freedom, love, and a life that can be truly, honestly his own. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Remixed Classics Series\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Clash of Steel: A Treasure Island Remix \u003c\/i\u003eby C.B.
