A classic love story about manners, men and modern romance retold by
bestselling Australian author, Fiona Palmer
Western Australia, 2019: The Bennets are a farming family struggling
to make ends meet. Lizzy, passionate about working the land, is
determined to save the farm. Spirited and independent, she has little
patience for her mother's focus on finding a suitable man for each of
her five daughters.
When the dashing Charles Bingley, looking to expand his farm
holdings, buys the neighbouring property of Netherfield Park, Mrs Bennet
and the entire district of Coodardy are atwitter with gossip and
speculation. Will he attend the local dance and is he single? These
questions are soon answered when he and Lizzy's sister Jane form an
instant connection on the night. But it is Charlie's best friend,
farming magnate Will Darcy, who leaves a lasting impression when he
slights Lizzy, setting her against him.
Can Lizzy and Will put judgements and pride aside to each see the other
for who they really are? Or in an age where appearance and social media
rule, will prejudice prevail?
Australia's bestselling storyteller Fiona Palmer reimagines Jane
Austen's beloved classic tale of manners and marriage, transporting an
enduring love story in this very twenty-first century novel about
family, female empowerment and matters of the heart.
