Truth & Triumph — Michelle M

Pride & Prejudice falls into the era of post World War II! It's a fact, not often understood, that when going on a journey, it is not the destination that is the point; it is the journey that counts. Always it is the journey that counts! 'The Six Women of Kent' was a painting that once belonged to the Bennet family in New York when they had it taken to Berlin to be put on display in the 1830s. Years later, when the world was thrown into chaos and destruction in World War II, the painting was lost, and the Bennet family had been raised on the history of it ever since, including Liz Bennet, one of the Bennet daughters. At the end of World War II, Liz Bennet, strong and adventurous, chooses to leave her family to travel to Germany with one of her sisters, where the painting was last recorded to be. She joins her friend, Louisa Musgrove, through the Army Exchange Services, who is traveling with her husband, Captain Benwick. When there, she searches for the painting, but while there she sees the devastation and aftermath of war, but tries to remain with her positive demeanor. Yet while there, she runs into an old acquaintance, Mr. Darcy, and their previous relationship falls back into place and they are both repulsed and drawn to each other. Yet there appears to be more behind this British officer than appears. And behind his heart as well. Follow this new adventure of Lizzy Bennet and her Mr. Darcy!
