Unforgiveness and Envy

A Pride and Prejudice Variation

By: Deborah Ann Kauer

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Elizabeth Bennet has always tried to be kind to others, but forgiving those who have wronged her has been a stumbling block in her life.

So, how can helping a young gypsy boy, who was nearly run down by a horse, change the course of her life?

When Elizabeth returns the young boy to his parents and grandmother, the boy’s grandmother tells Elizabeth she is going to bestow a blessing upon her.

Unfortunately, Elizabeth wakes one morning to find she has switched bodies with Caroline Bingley. Elizabeth cannot help but wonder how this exchange is a blessing and if she will ever regain her life. And when she does regain her life, what will that life be like? Before anything else is resolved, Elizabeth must learn to live in Caroline’s life, and Caroline must learn to live in Elizabeth’s. What problems could that cause?

Warning: Although not graphic, there is an incident of marital rape.
This is not a light romp or a comedy. I intentionally looked at the events from a darker angle.

Rationalizing Rape and Cruelty

Darcy was despicable from start to finish. There was no redemption of his character. He made the original male foes seem benign in comparison. Very disappointed with the resolution to his transgression.
