Über diesen Titel

“Love at first sight” is a laughable concept in the considered opinion of Colonel Richard Fitzwilliam and never occurs in real life—certainly not in the life of an experienced soldier. In fact, until he observes the smitten nature of his cousin Fitzwilliam Darcy, he doubts that fervent love exists. Marriage, after all, is a matter of money, social standing, and property.

But his cousin becomes besotted with Elizabeth Bennet, the lovely but penniless daughter of a Hertfordshire gentleman, and is determined to make her his wife. Unfortunately, emotions overwhelm his good judgment, and he botches an offer of marriage.

When the colonel attempts to untangle the mess, his own world becomes almost as chaotic when he makes the accidental acquaintance of Miss Jane Bennet, Elizabeth’s beloved eldest sister. Can emotions previously deemed impossible truly seize such a level-headed person as himself? And can impassible obstacles deter a man of true determination?

Usually I love stories that concentrate on the Colonel and also the Jane/Fitzwilliam duo is something that I ship (Charlotte even more). But I have to say there were a lot of misogynistic undertones in this variation. I hate when Mrs Bennet is described as basically useless and there is no room to explore the entailment and what it means for the Ladies in this day and age to be without a "male protector". Especially paired with being poor.

Lizzy was written in a way that came across as more entitled than being misled.

And there was a strange obsession with the garments skimming the figure of Jane as if she were naked and her bossom getting ogled by EVERY man is THE greatest achievement.
The whole subject of sex was handled off-putting. And I do not need "clean" romance. But I do not want the perspective of a dirty old man with puritanical upbringing.... I assume the author is a man. Also a lot of repetitions.

Weirdly misogynistic
