In this gorgeously written and spellbinding historical novel based on "Pride and Prejudice," as a fussy baby, Anne de Bourgh's doctor prescribed laudanum to quiet her, and now the young woman must take the opium-heavy tincture every day. In a frenzy of desperation, Anne discards her laudanum and flees to the London home of her cousin, Colonel John Fitzwilliam, who helps her through her painful recovery. Yet once she returns to health, the wealthy heiress must forge a new identity for herself, learning to navigate a "season" in society and the complexities of love and passion.
