What happens when Elizabeth Bennet is kidnapped, locked in a tower, and forced to marry Mr. Darcy by a completely unhinged Lady Catherine de Bourgh? This book is what happens!
This week, Emilie Davis and guest host Sharon Cortez (filling in for Alicia) dive into In the Tower With Mr. Darcy by Valerie Lennox, a bold, fairy tale–tinged Pride and Prejudice variation that had us texting "What is HAPPENING?!" practically every other chapter.
We’re unpacking:
The Rapunzel-meets-Regency plot that *somehow* works
What "Primal Darcy" looks like
Whether trauma bonding counts as romance
The surprisingly touching moment Darcy (not Elizabeth) laments their stolen "wedding" night
A strange pattern we've noticed with twins...
If you love fairy tale retellings, forced proximity, or just need something unpredictable to distract you from reality, this book’s for you!
