Snow Falls on Longbourn: A Holiday Pride and Prejudice Variation

Book excerpt: Well, this is a fine holiday mess that Mrs. Bennet has gotten her daughter into! Mere days before Christmas, Elizabeth Bennet's mother makes the mistake of telling an entire Meryton assembly that her second eldest daughter is the most exceptional cook in all of England. Much to the family's surprise, Mr. Bingley takes that as a holiday invitation to Longbourn. Elizabeth suddenly finds that she is preparing a Christmas feast for the Bennets, Charles and Caroline Bingley, and the haughty Fitzwilliam Darcy, when she has not cooked a day in her life. Overwhelmed and afraid that her inexperience will be discovered, Elizabeth finds an unlikely ally in Mr. Darcy, who is more than willing to help her craft the perfect holiday dinner. But what is the reason for the generally unpleasant gentleman to be so jolly? And why is Elizabeth enjoying their time together even though she disliked him only days ago? Snow Falls on Longbourn is a sweet and clean holiday Pride and Prejudice variation steeped in holiday joy, sprinkled with magic, and filled to the brim with romance!
