Blinded by Prejudice: A Pride and Prejudice Variation

During a sight seeing trip to Bodden Chapel, a landslide threatens Elizabeth Bennet's life. Fitzwilliam Darcy leaps to protect her and the pair are buried alive together in a tiny space under rubble and soil.
The description of this is intense and claustrophobia inducing!
Being buried with an injured, semi-conscious gentleman overnight is viewed as a compromise, so marriage is essential to repair reputation.
We follow Elizabeth's thoughts as she comes to terms with impending marriage to a man she was determined to dislike.
In addition, she feels guilty that in saving her, Darcy received a head injury which resulted in blindness.

I adored this book. The initial drama was compelling, the slow thawing of Elizabeth's feelings about Darcy, together with his efforts to draw her closer to him were absorbing and the angst of the misunderstanding made me cry!
