Gay Pride and Prejudice
Gay Pride and Prejudice | Jane Austen, Kate Christie
4 posts | 2 read | 4 to read
Because Queer People Deserve Happily Ever After, Too. For the Bennet sisters, life in quiet Hertfordshire County is about to change. Netherfield Hall has just been let to a single man of large fortune. But while it is true that such a man is generally considered to be in want of a wife, it is equally true that not all men desire female companionship, just as not every woman dreams of being married. Like other variations on Jane Austen's classic romance novel, Gay Pride & Prejudice poses a question: What if some among Austen's characters preferred the company of their own sex? In this queer revision of the classic original, Kate Christie offers an alternate version of love, friendship, and marriage for Elizabeth Bennet, Mr. Darcy, and others among their circle of friends. But even as the path to love veers from the straight and narrow, the destination remains much the same. If you have an open mind, dear reader, you may discover the book Jane Austen would likely never have approved, but which, nonetheless, affords a window onto gay and lesbian life in early nineteenth century England.

#Pemberlittens @sprainedbrain I get what the Author was trying to do but it doesn't always work. Obviously she was trying to stick with original characters, timeline, & most of the plot which limits you. Lots of just giving Darcy's dialogue to Caroline Bingley. Overall P & P with added content. Honestly I think it would have been a more interesting read with short section on how we got to the Epilogue and then wrote a continuation from there.

Up next #Pemberlittens @sprainedbrain -
"IT IS A TRUTH UNIVERSALLY ACKNOWLEDGED, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife—even if he does not particularly desire female companionship."

It took me about 150 pages to get over my Pride and Prejudice purism, but it was so worth it. Kate Christie does a great job of reworking P&P into a delightfully gay (and I don‘t just mean happy) story. I love how she expands the characters of Mary and Mr. Collins, especially. Give it a read, and stick with it even if the diversion from the original makes it hard at first ;)
