Mistaken Jessie Lewis

A tempestuous acquaintance, disastrous marriage proposal and growing catalogue of imperfections make it unlikely that Mr Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet will ever reconcile. Despairing of their own happiness, they attend with great energy to salvaging the romance between Darcy's friend Mr Bingley and Elizabeth's sister Jane. Regrettably, it is rare that people can be manoeuvred in and out of love without mishap. Jane, crossed in love once already, is wary of Bingley's renewed attentions. Mistaking her guardedness for indifference, Bingley is drawn to Elizabeth's livelier company. Before long, the defects of their own characters become the least of the impediments to Darcy and Elizabeth's happiness. Mistaken invites us to laugh at the follies, nonsense, whims and inconsistencies of characters both familiar and new in this witty and romantic take on Jane Austen's beloved Pride and Prejudice. Voted Austenesque Reviews Readers' Favourite 2017 and Austenesque Reviews Favourite 2018.
