Remembrance of the Past & His Uncle’s Favourite (Pride and Prejudice Collection)

The books in this collection are:

Book One – Remembrance of the Past, written back in 2006. In Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth Bennet unexpectedly met Mr. Darcy while visiting Pemberley.

In this ‘what if’ story, Elizabeth Bennet and her relatives – Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner – are in London, ready to start their tour to the Lakes in June. During this time, Elizabeth’s path crosses with Mr.

Darcy’s again. However, Mr.

Darcy is not alone in London: besides his close family – Georgiana and Colonel Fitzwilliam – an old and dear friend has returned and claimed a well-deserved place in their lives.

This is a story about hopes and desires, about losses and fears, about second chances and happiness.

Warning: there are several references (although mostly implied or just mentioned, not detailed) to a man’s attack over a woman, that might affect some readers.

Book Two – His Uncle’s Favourite The story begins shortly after Mr Bingley and his party have left Netherfield.

After visiting Longbourn for Christmas, their Aunt Gardiner – now a widow grieving the loss of her beloved husband – persuades Jane and Elizabeth Bennet to spend time with her in London.

There, the girls encounter familiar faces and intriguing new acquaintances. As fate would have it, their aunt’s Gracechurch Street home is frequented by very close members of Mr.

Darcy’s family, and Elizabeth discovers that she and Mr. Darcy’s uncle – Lord Matlock – have more than one favourite in common.

Readers will be taken from Longbourn to London, then to Kent, to Matlock’s estate and finally home – to Pemberley in a succession of events that will allow Elizabeth and Darcy’s relationship to change dramatically, to improve and grow and eventually to bond for a lifetime.

This is a tale of wrong first impressions, mistaken pride and prejudice, rights and wrongs — a divergent but familiar story of Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy’s struggle for happiness.

Both books contain scenes for a mature audience only!
