About This Book
'... as the likelihood of my being joined by a brother diminished with each ensuing year [my mother] consoled herself by arranging, in her own mind at least, a match between her daughter and her sister's only son - between myself and my cousin, Fitzwilliam Darcy.

Unsurprisingly, she presents the courtship of Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet from a very different perspective ...
