What is the book about?
Louisa Bingley had never defied
her mother in her life, until she found something she wished to fight for. In
love with a man with close ties to trade, Louisa refuses to give him up when
her mother demands it.
But Mrs. Bingley is not to be
reckoned with and through despicable means manages to force her daughter into a
much more appropriate marriage to a gentleman named Mr. Hurst.
Married to a man she does not love
and finding herself in increasingly desperate circumstances, the newly wed
Louisa Hurst must learn to navigate her husband's expectations and demands
while still trying to hold on to the threads of herself. Through all of this
she must also survive the malice of her younger sister Caroline when the
responsibility for her sister is thrust most unwillingly upon her.
Convinced contentment in life is
all that she can expect, Louisa finds herself quite unexpectedly released from
her unwanted marriage and free to pursue her own happiness. But does she dare
take the chance at allowing herself to feel again?
Along with Jane and Lizzy and all
our favorites, Louisa Hurst gets her own happy ending in this Pride and Prejudice Vagary.
