Mr Darcy's Mail-Order Bride - By J Dawn King


Listen Later

What do you get when you cross Pride and Prejudice with Sarah, Plain and Tall?

You're about to find out!

This week, we dive into Mr. Darcy’s Mail-Order Bride by J. Dawn King, a variation that moves our favorite couple from Hertfordshire to post–Civil War Oregon and swaps empire-waist dresses and tea rooms for sturdy walking boots and logging camps.

We chat about the charm (and chaos) of the mail-order bride trope, what it takes to fall in love after "I do," and how far a variation can stray while still keeping Austen's heart. 

We also go off on a big tangent about the upcoming Netflix Pride & Prejudice adaptation, and lay out our "wish list" items for what we hope is included. (Spoiler: Emilie reeeeeally wants a Darcy that smiles and more walks at Rosings!)

So grab your bonnet and join us for a fun, thoughtful ride through this Oregon-flavored variation and beyond!
