The Sensible Miss Bennet: A Pride and Prejudice Variation
When Miss Amelia Bennet loses her beloved father, she also loses the security of home and fortune. Determined to shield her younger sisters from a future of genteel poverty, Amelia accepts her cousin Elizabeth Darcy’s invitation to visit Derbyshire. There, amid the grandeur of Pemberley, she resolves to put duty above every personal inclination, even her own chance at happiness.
But Thomas Whitmore, Mr. Darcy’s capable and quietly charismatic estate manager, soon has Amelia questioning this choice. Thomas understands the sting of reduced circumstances, yet his intelligence, integrity, and steady humor awaken feelings Amelia has long denied herself.
As harvest festivities approach and a scandal involving one of her sisters looms, Amelia must choose between the practical path she has always walked, or risking her heart on a man whose situation mirrors her own. With Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy observing from the sidelines, and Lady Catherine fanning the flames of gossip, Amelia discovers that love may be the most sensible choice of all.
The Sensible Miss Bennet is a tender Pride & Prejudice variation filled with romance, wit, and the enduring hope that even the most sensible heart deserves its own happy ending.

This is not really a pride and prejudice retelling, but more like a look into Elizabeth and Darcy’s lives after marriage. It was fun to see their happily ever after mixed with a new love story and a better look inside Pemberly. I liked this a lot and found all the characters that mattered very likable. The sisters were not annoying and the two main characters were not unreasonable in their reasoning for not being able to be together at first. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to stay in Pride and Prejudice for a little bit longer.
