This Pride and Prejudice variation sets the story in 1911. This allows us to see just how much has changed in one hundred years.

The high prestige department store, Selfridge's in London, is the thread that brings our characters
Fitzwilliam Darcy of Pemberley is still a great landowner, but the world is so changed, that maintaining the house is a financial struggle.

Elizabeth and Jane Bennet strike out for independence, becoming window dressers in the high prestige Selfridge's in London.

Elizabeth is inspired to join the Suffragette movement, in their fight for women's right to vote. But the more involved she becomes, the greater the risk of arrest and police brutality.

Bingley is wealthy and affable, Caroline is a snob. Wickham is a waiter by day and lothario by night.

Darcy and Elizabeth's relationship follows the classic combination of pride, prejudice and misunderstanding.

This is a good variation combining romance with some exciting, dramatic and occasionally angst ridden episodes.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
