It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single woman in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a husband. In this subversive take on one of the great works of English literature, author Kristina Jameson flips Jane Austen's sentences-and world-around. Now, this story of Regency-era England is full of the down-on-their-luck Bennet brothers, the haughty Frangelica Darcy, and the scheming Georgiana Wickham. Clever and sharp-tongued Eddie Bennet finds himself caught between the charms of Georgiana and a strange attraction to the most peculiar Ms. Darcy. With a meddling father and flighty brothers to worry about, Eddie ends up making a big mistake. Can he fix it, or is he destined to a life of bachelorhood? In Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice Flipped, Jameson swaps the genders of all the characters to give Austen's classic battle-of-the-sexes book a fresh new look. In doing so, she reveals new truths both about the gender politics of Austen's age and their still-strong reverberations in the modern world. Along the way, Jameson insightfully explains her writing process and how the changes she made took the story in new and surprising directions.
