Anne de Bourgh Takes Charge : A Pride & Prejudice Variation

In the 5th book in this series, it is Anne de Bourgh's (who more often than not is a footnote in most books based on Pride & Prejudice) turn to take charge. Similar to canon, Anne is sickly and had a bad bout of scarlet fever when she is around 10 years. Unlike canon, she is not a wallflower sitting and sniffing while her companion piles shawls on her. In her own words from the story, just because she is weak of body does not mean she is weak of mind. We see the affect she has on the lives of those around her. As in canon, Lizzy comes to Hunsford to visit Charlotte Collins. That is where we separate from canon. Lady Catherine attempts to be the woman we all love to hate, but how will her story play out when factoring in a strong and resolute Anne?

Before Darcy and his cousin come to Kent, Lizzy and Anne form a friendship and then we see how Anne influences the courses that out favourite (and some hated) characters travel. Join me as we explore an Anne de Bourgh who is very different from the one we are used to reading about.
