The Camino meets Pride and Prejudice.IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT THE JOURNEY, AND NEVER ABOUT THE DESTINATION.Part travelogue, part homage to Jane Austen's dearest characters, this modern-day Pride and Prejudice variation has an ensemble cast and takes place through England, France and Spain. Meet Lizzy Bennet, looking for the meaning of life, the universe and everything; she decides to take a very long walk.
Meet Georgie Darcy, a privileged heiress looking for the same.
Meet Mary Bennet, Lizzy's younger sister, always in the background, never taking a risk in life until she joins her sister on her very long walk.
Meet Richard Fitzwilliam, soldier and adventurer.
Meet Anne de Bourgh, another privileged heiress staving off the debilitating effects of life's ennui with her dismissive attitude to people (especially her cousins), events and things.
And finally, meet Will Darcy, the overbearing, protective older brother of Georgie. Will sparks fly? Of course! It wouldn't be Pride and Prejudice without the fireworks and the plentiful misunderstandings along the way! Starting off at the Via Francigena in England, then to the Chemin de Stevenson and the Canal du Midi in France, before finally ending at the Camino de Santiago in Spain; this book takes ODC for a very long detour through these three countries while walking, riding and even a bit of surfing on their journey together.With over 240,000 words of text, this book is divided into two parts. Part One covers France - with a bit of England thrown in; while Part Two covers Spain - with a bit of England inserted. Join ODC as they lose and find themselves on the way.This is the second book in my Pride and Prejudice modern variation arts and culture series. The first book has a music theme, while this book has an art theme.Warning: Mature adult themes including occasional coarse language, minor scenes of violence, and sex.
