A Brazilian Lizzy and a British Darcy. Elizabeth Bennett is a
spirited twenty years Carioca old girl whose love for travelling
directs her life in many aspects. A Tourism major busy unfurling
her exciting early adulthood, Lizzy is shook up by her first visit
to the lovely Amsterdam with her lively big family. Aside from the
pleasure of reuniting with her adored friend Charlotte Lucas, she
meets a certain gentleman who she can only describe as
'unpalatable'. Fitzwilliam Darcy is a brooding twenty-six years old
British man who hops boutique hotels around the globe. Decided on
enjoying his late twenties, William evades his family's attempts to
chain him to their many businesses such as the luxurious Hotels,
much to his Aunt Catherine's abhorrence. To appease his family's
annoyance, he occasionally adorns social events with his VIP
presence, such as a Gala in Amsterdam. When these two stubborn,
sexy and handsome people meet, in spite of sharing the eagerness to
see the world, she hates him with more passion than she wants to
acknowledge and he feels instigated by her sparkling personality.
Much to Lizzy's dislike, whenever she manages to cross the
Atlantic, Darcy magically materializes close to her. Fate working
its coincidences or puppeteering them around Europe? "It is a truth
universally acknowledged, as well as feared, that fate has its
twisted ways to dispose of our lives." A novel inspired by Jane
Austen's unforgettable characters in a linear retelling, a worldly
and modern adaptation for Pride and Prejudice. A tale about how
finding the one you're supposed to be with can influence your
expectations, how weirdly and meaningful outsized it can be. Here,
the beloved Austen's characters are divided between left and right
of the Atlantic Ocean. Mr. Bennett moved to Brazil in his late
twenties and married Agnes Gardiner, a Brazilian beauty daughter of
Scotch immigrants. Their happy marriage gave them five daughters
and a picturesque life in Petropolis, Brazilian Imperial city.
Their elder daughters live in Ipanema, the hype Rio de Janeiro
neighborhood to attend college - Odontology for Jane, Tourism for
Lizzy. A fact that challenges Mrs. Bennett's nerves. The Gardiner
family was as Brazilian as immigrants could be with the exception
of Martin, the younger son who returned to England and established
life in London with lovely wife Regina, three kids and two dogs.
Sir Lucas moved to Petropolis when transferred to work on Rio de
Janeiro's British embassy. Instantly his elder daughter befriended
the second Bennett girl forming a bond close to sisterhood. When
Charlotte graduates and wins the renowned Rosier Hotels'
International contest, Lizzy saves as much as she can to visit her
best friend on her around Europe year of internship. The Darcys
from Pemberley are one the wealthiest British families, especially
because their fortune is associated with the Fitzwilliams' and de
Bourgh's. Orphaned in a tender age, the Darcy heirs evade any
commitment, especially the eldest - Fitzwilliam Darcy. Lady
Catherine de Bourgh, 'William' Darcy aunt and owner of The Rosier
Hotels, have an only daughter Anne who she vowed to develop into a
business woman as shrewd as she herself was. For this task, it was
imperative to surround them with exceptionally loyal assistants as
Mr. Collins and Charlotte Lucas. Graham Fitzwilliam, Darcy's other
cousin, is also a disappointment to the family because he decided
to open an independent law firm and escaped the family businesses'
clutches. Mr. George Wickham is a flight attendant gavotting the
globe, embellishing it with his charms. Crisscrossing the Atlantic,
these famous characters retell their delightful story in a fun and
exciting new light. Meant for mature readers, considered 'MA'.
A Pride and Prejudice inspired romance novel; sexy, naughty and
touching. Elizabeth Bennett has already suffered a lot of heartache
- too much in her point of view - by her early thirties. Therefore,
she avoids relationships and most of all, commitment. William Darcy
would rather spend his time and efforts working on his family's
company than engaging on angst filled relationships. When these two
stubborn, sexy and handsome people meet they want the same thing:
simply a good time. But what happens when he falls in love with
her? How hard will he have to work to persuade her to love again?
"It is a truth universally acknowledged, as well as feared, that
fate has its twisted ways to dispose of our lives." A novel
inspired by Jane Austen's unforgettable characters and their
struggle to get together, here in a modern setting where they
struggle to keep together. With a Brazilian zest to them. It was
said that they were too forward, that Darcy would never give Lizzy
a kiss on the cheek on the second time they met. Or that Lizzy
wouldnt drink beer, but wine. Well... these D&E have a zest of
Brazil too. Why not? So they are forward and a bit naughty
sometimes. Darcy hacks into her IPhone so he can keep in touch
while Lizzy is only interested in Darcy as a one night stand. Its
not a retelling, its a P&P inspired story. For mature
audiences. Adult content, explicit language.
