Mrs. Bennet is in dire need of two things. A large fan. And husbands for her daughters.

The first of these commodities is readily available in the shops, but the second is a scarcity in her neighbourhood. But then she learns that a horde of gentlemen is coming to town. What a miraculous opportunity for getting all her daughters married at last. If only some of them weren’t so difficult.

For Elizabeth Bennet, it isn’t easy having a mother whose mind is full of marriage plans. She fears mortification for herself, disappointment for the neighbourhood, and discontent within her family. Dubious about the chances of finding love, she isn’t hoping for a husband. Until the right man unexpectedly comes along.

Instead of standing at the edge of this country society, where a man looking in might disapprove of what he sees, Mr. Darcy finds himself on the inside, where he is eager to approve. Especially of Elizabeth.

But love is a complicated business. Uncertainty can cause misunderstandings, plans can easily go awry, and enemies of romance may stir up trouble.

One thing is certain. After the dust settles, nothing will be the same again.
