You know Darcy rich, proud, standoffish, disapproving, one of the greatest romantic heroes of all time. But you dont know this Darcy because this Darcy is a woman. In Prejudice & Pride, Lynn Messinas modern retelling with a genderbendy twist, everything is vaguely familiar and yet wholly new. Bingley is here, in the form of Charlotte "Bingley" Bingston, an heiress staying at the Netherfield hotel on Central Park, as is Longbourn, transformed from an ancestral home into a perennially cashstrapped art museum on the edge of the city. Naturally, it employs an audacious fundraiser with an amused glint in his eye called Bennet. All the favorite characters are present and cleverly updated Providing the cringeworthy bon mots is Mr. Meryton, the nervewracked executive director of the Longbourn whos always on the lookout for heiresses to join his museums very important committees. (Universally acknowledged truth Any woman in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a social committee to chair.) Collin Parsons is still in obsequious, if ironic, awe of his patroness, Lady Catherine de Bourgh. The wicked Georgia Wickham toils as a graphic designer at Redcoat Design by day and schemes against Darcy by night. With her trademark wit and style, Lynn Messina takes the genres she does bestchick lit, mashups, and Regency romanceand weaves them into one delightfully entertaining tale that doubles as a fun guessing game.
