Does it ever
stop raining in Lambton?
Darcy and Bingley depart Netherfield Park,
leaving Elizabeth Bennet acutely aware of the monotony of her life. Seeking a
reprieve, she volunteers to serve as temporary companion to Mrs. Gardiner’s
elderly aunt who lives in Lambton. Nothing turns out as Elizabeth expects, and
she is forced to dig deep into her reserves of common sense, humor, and
stubborn persistence to prove herself equal to the dreary circumstances.
Initially unaware that Pemberley is only five
miles away, Elizabeth crosses paths with Darcy annoyingly often. When the
gentleman rescues her from a shocking situation, Elizabeth faces some hard
choices, at the same time struggling against the smoldering attraction that can
neither be repressed nor fulfilled.
Mr. Darcy, meanwhile, in whose heart a fire has also been lit, is shocked by the lady’s stubborn refusal to accept his help. Alternating between alarm and begrudging admiration, he stands helplessly on the sidelines while she struggles to retain her independence. He, too, must make some hard choices in the end. Will he let her go?
