Publisher Description: You know Darcy: rich, proud, standoffish, disapproving, one of the greatest romantic heroes of all time. But you don't know this Darcy because this Darcy is a woman. In Prejudice & Pride, Lynn Messina's modern retelling with a gender-bendy twist, everything is vaguely familiar and yet wholly new. Bingley is here, in the form of Charlotte "Bingley" Bingston, an heiress staying at the Netherfield hotel on Central Park, as is Longbourn, transformed from an ancestral home into a perennially cash-strapped art museum on the edge of the city. Naturally, it employs an audacious fundraiser with an amused glint in his eye called Bennet. With her trademark wit and style, Lynn Messina takes the genres she does best--chick lit, mashups, and Regency romance--and weaves them into one delightfully entertaining tale that doubles as a fun guessing game. |
