1932: Pride and Prejudice Revisited

1932: Pride and Prejudice Revisited | Karen M Cox

1 post | 1 reading | 2 to read

"...do anything rather than marry without affection." --Pride and Prejudice During the upheaval of the Great Depression, Elizabeth Bennet's life is torn asunder. Her family's relocation from the bustle of the big city to a quiet family farm has changed her future, and now, she must build a new life in rural Meryton, Kentucky. William Darcy suffered family turmoil of his own, but he has settled into a peaceful life at Pemberley, the largest farm in the county. Single, rich, and seemingly content, he remains aloof--immune to any woman's charms. Until Elizabeth Bennet moves to town. As Darcy begins to yearn for something he knows is missing, Elizabeth's circumstances become more dire. Can the two put aside their pride and prejudices long enough to find their way to each other? 1932, Karen M Cox's award-winning debut novel, is a matchless variation on Jane Austen's classic tale.

1932: Pride and Prejudice Revisited | Karen M Cox

This was a variation that I wanted to like more than I did. P&P moves to rural Kentucky during the Great Depression, and I loved the concept! But this book felt a little rushed, almost like Cox was afraid someone else was going to write this story and she had to get hers out as fast as possible - a lot of the writing was choppy and muddled. I loved that Darcy and Elizabeth's #marriage took place towards the middle of the story ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) (sort of the equivalent of E accepting the Hunsford proposal) and grew to love from there. However, there was definitely some drama that could have been solved by ONE good conversation, and that always annoys me. Still loved this unique setting and this is one I may revisit, since I originally read it back in 2017.

CrowCAH Wow what a time period to place the story in, wouldn‘t have thought to put it then. 3y

mabell I know what you mean about seeming to rush it to get it out there. But at the same time, I can‘t imagine someone might beat her to setting P&P in Kentucky in the Great Depression 😆 3y
