Elizabeth Abroad

As autumn approaches, all of Meryton is looking forward to the Regimental Ball-except for Elizabeth Bennet, who simply cannot imagine anything more dull than, yet another ball. As the household prepares, Mr. Bennet receives news that his estranged brother, a relation unknown to Elizabeth and her sisters, has died while in India. As the poor man's only living relation, Mr. Bennet must journey abroad, to tend to his brother's business affairs. Eager for an adventure of any sort, Elizabeth volunteers to accompany her father on the journey, but what she does not expect is that in the depths of negotiations for the management of her late uncle's trade business she will meet the most disagreeable gentleman of her acquaintance and an unexpected rival. Torn between family loyalty and her own interests, Elizabeth will discover that, so far from home and so unexpectedly, she might find the kind of love that she has been searching for.

By her own admission, Elizabeth Bennet has not spent as much time as she should have liked on her accomplishments. When she is offered the opportunity to travel to Paris with her cousin, Mr. Jacob Gardiner, Elizabeth leaps at the chance to improve herself, and to see the wonders of Paris in springtime. Enrolled in a painting class to keep her mind occupied, Elizabeth will have far too much time to ponder the nature of a most disagreeable gentleman who seems insistent upon distracting Elizabeth from her work. But Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, newly arrived from London in search of the perfect paintings to adorn his Derbyshire home, has another reason for his interest in Elizabeth Bennet and her painting class. "Elizabeth Abroad: France" is the second novel in a sweet, clean, 'what if' Pride and Prejudice variation series set in all corners of the British Empire and beyond, and is suitable for all lovers of Jane Austen's classic.
