Pride & Prejudice Book Club Podcast29 Mai 2023

A Short Period of Exquisite Felicity - by Amy D’Orazio

Bonus Episode! Instead of one episode this week, you get TWO!

This variation continues the theme of books where Darcy and Lizzy "meet later," but with a twist: while at Pemberley together, and before Lydia's elopement is revealed, Darcy and Lizzy enjoy a blissful 9 days as an engaged couple. Complications ensue, and Lizzy writes a letter releasing Darcy from the engagement. Will our favorite couple be able to overcome the awful bitterness of spirits that result? And why did Lizzy "cry off"?

Along the way, we discuss whether it is appropriate to share our opinions about the romantic choices of friends and family, if a special "spark" is necessary to keep relationships alive, and whether the name of a book can be too long to remember...
