The fun things you
discover while creating a new adventure for Darcy and Lizzy! It was important
to my new release, a mashup of Pride and
Prejudice and Pygmalion, that
Lizzy talk with a cockney accent. But how could I do that to our darling girl?
And how much of her quirky speech pattern would the reader enjoy? I hope I hit
a near perfect balance as the tale begins with Lizzy speaking in cockney only
to blend into proper English.
A Regency tale ~
Lizzy Bennet, a sassy London shop girl is instantly attracted to Fitzwilliam
Darcy, the arrogant, handsome visitor to the Bennets’ struggling Covent Garden
flower shop. Darcy insists on purchasing Lizzy’s lucky orchid as a gift for his
aunt, Lady Catherine de Bourgh. Will Lizzy sell her family’s much needed good
fortune to the haughty know it all?
