Vanity and Pride in Pride and Prejudice
That sentence – “Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously” – appears in Pride and Prejudice during one of Mary Bennet’s earnest moral pronouncements. As is frequently the case with Mary, she is both correct and slightly missing the point – and Jane Austen, with her quiet irony, lets us see more than the speaker does.
The distinction is subtle but crucial.

Whispers of the Heart: A Regency Romance of Pride, Trust, and Second Chances:
"Whispers of the Heart by Kinga Brady is the kind of slow-burn Regency romance that feels like slipping into a candlelit ballroom and lingering there long after the music fades.
From the very first pages, I was drawn into Catherine Berrington’s world h" Read more of this review » |

More Discerning, Volume I - What if Elizabeth saw things more clearly from the beginning? : A Pride and Prejudice variation (Pride and Prejudice what if variations):
"This author has proven that you can have the fiery relationship of Elizabeth and Darcy without all the angst. I didn’t think it was possible but now I wish there were more books like this one. "

"
I am a writer with English as a second language. But I really resent the AI comment, as the story was written before AI.

My second book, ‘More Discerning,’ is a testament to my continued love for Austen’s world, with Elizabeth at its heart. As I wrote, the characters responded to the differences in Jane and Elizabeth, evolving in unexpected ways. I am eagerly anticipating sharing these surprises with you, my readers.
My third book’s idea also has been with me for a long time. It bothered me that our couple always met by accident. I wanted to create a Darcy who goes after Elizabeth. Now the novel is finished and is called ‘Passion and Persistence.’ I hope you will like it.
I have created information websites for all three books that will help you better imagine the world of the novels. The links are on the first pages.
I hope my reimaginings of Austen’s stories will provide you with a unique and enjoyable reading experience.
