Well ... I loved it. Here, the shift happens fairly early on, Darcy has fallen for Elizabeth, but the things that happen that eventually cause her to rethink her first impressions don't happen. Yet she accepts his proposal, in fact might have been pressured to accept Mr. Collins had Mr. Bennett discovered his failing health before that happened. Now, he desperately wants to make sure the family is taken care of (which means marrying off a least a couple of the daughters).

It's an interesting look at Mr. Bennett, who I have liked in the majority of the P&P variations I've read. Even a bit more about the relationship between him and Mrs.Bennett. I enjoyed seeing Darcy and Elizabeth's relationship evolve in a completely different way. While nothing explicit, their sexual relationship is addressed a bit more here than in any of the other variations I've read.

I got a bit confused at the epilogue ... but once I grasped what had happened, I loved that wrap up ;)
