Aprašymas

In Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice," Fitzwilliam Darcy's proposal to Elizabeth Bennet at Hunsford is disastrous. In Jan Hahn's "The Child," Darcy flees England soon afterward, striving to overcome his longing for her. Upon his return two years later--while standing on the steps of St. George's Church in Hanover Square--he spies the very woman he has vowed to forget. But who is the child holding her hand?

Darcy soon discovers that Elizabeth and her family are suffering the effects of a devastating scandal. His efforts to help the woman he still loves only worsen her family's plight. His misguided pride entangles him in a web of falsehood, fateful alliances, and danger.

Will Elizabeth be able to forgive Darcy for his good intentions gone awry? And what effect will the child have on Darcy's hopes to win Elizabeth's love?
