Longbourn's Songbird
Longbourn's Songbird | Beau North
2 posts | 7 to read
"Someday some lark is gonna spell you with a song. She'll call you with music, and you'll be as good as lost." In the autumn of 1948, young millionaire Will Darcy comes to the sleepy, backwater town of Meryton, South Carolina to visit his best friend, Charles Bingley. When Darcy becomes enchanted by a local beauty with a heavenly voice, his business dealings with Longbourn Farms may close the door to his romantic hopes before they are given a chance to thrive. Still healing from heartbreak, Elizabeth Bennet takes solace in her family, home, and the tight-knit community of Meryton. That foundation is shaken when Will Darcy makes a successful offer to buy the family farm. Blinded by hurt, will Elizabeth miss the chance to find in him the peace and comfort her heart truly needs? Confronting the racial, economic, and social inequalities of the times, Longbourn's Songbird is an imaginative romance inspired by Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice and told through the lens of post-WWII America, a story layered with betrayal and loss, love and letting go.

Based on the framework of P&P, Allie and Will meet, clash, makeup, and implode multiple times and it is so believable when taking into account their histories and insecurities. I loved watching them figure each other out. One of the best parts of this book is the diversity. Allie is bisexual and in addiction recovery. Will is half Indian by way of England and half Irish American. His mixed heritage has given him a sense of not belonging anywhere.

MarriedtoMrT Slightly more coherent review will be posted on GR. 😉 #romantsy 6y
alvingregorio Reads pretty coherent to me 6y
MarriedtoMrT @alvingregorio Good! I had to cut it down from a longer version and sometimes it doesn‘t translate well then. 6y

Popping in to say I just finished this and it is fabulous and I‘ve been sneaking reading it at work because I could not put it down and now that it‘s over I may never read another book again. Real review later! ❤️#romantsy #notinthedatabase #sameauthor

Chachic It's only 0.99usd! But I read the blurb and it seems... angsty? 6y
Christy2318 Pride & Prejudice plus 1948! Count me in. 6y

MarriedtoMrT @Christy2318 That‘s a different book by the same author but she‘s a big Austen aficionado so this one has P&P undertones, too. This book wasn‘t in the database yet. 6y
MarriedtoMrT @Chachic It has some heavy backstory but I don‘t like angst and I didn‘t think it was overly so. Both characters have baggage and are prickly in their own right but they‘re also in recovery from the baggage, not in the midst of it, so it‘s part of who they are but not directly affecting their current life. If that makes sense. 6y
Christy2318 @MarriedtoMrT Oh. Oops distracted reading. Guess I‘ll just had to read them both! 😆😍 6y
MarriedtoMrT @Christy2318 Yes! Good idea. 6y
Shaila Cover conveys so much emotion. Beautiful! 6y
