Expecting His Proposal

Image
Title and Author: Expecting His Proposal by P.O. Dixon Type: Pride and Prejudice Variation Perspective: Elizabeth Romance Level: Austen-esque Recommended: yes, if you want a quick read. 2 stars because I didn't find it satisfying. Summary: This novella asks what if Darcy had danced with Elizabeth at the Meryton assembly instead of insulting her. She probably would not have listened Wickham and steered her family away from him. And by the time, she visited Kent to find Darcy there, she would have been expecting his proposal. Pros This is sweet with very little angst. This is good if you want a very quick read.  Cons This is short and there isn't really time to develop any characters. Darcy seems to have overcome his reservation about her status and family with no thought. Elizabeth recovers from hearing news about Darcy she did not expect remarkably fast.
