Darcy's Christmas Song

A Pride and Prejudice Variation

By: Regina Velarde

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

After being rejected by Elizabeth, Darcy impulsively marries Anne de Bourgh whom he later discovers is mentally unstable. In the summer of that year, she burns Pemberley to the ground; and Darcy, who fails in his attempt to save her during the fire, is permanently maimed. He moves to his Scottish estate of Kinross Abbey where he plans to live out the rest of his days alone. And then, one Christmas, Elizabeth Bennet comes into his life again and rekindles his hopes for something better.

This P & P variation (with features of Jane Eyre) has all the elements of a feel-good holiday novel - an isolated highland castle, a flawed and brooding hero, a young woman who wants to redeem him, and love scenes set amid an enchanting, snowy landscape.
