68 pages

Mrs Bennet overhears a conversation she was never meant to hear.
The words confirm a painful truth she has spent years trying not to see, and the shock leaves her withdrawn and unwell. Hoping that a change of scene may restore her spirits, the Bennet family travel to Lyme Regis, where sea air and new friendships begin to alter the course of all their lives.

Among the visitors to Lyme is a gentleman from Derbyshire.
Fitzwilliam Darcy is intelligent, reserved and impossible to ignore. As Elizabeth Bennet becomes acquainted with him, she discovers a man very different from the one she might have imagined. Yet Darcy’s growing attachment soon leads him into mistakes of his own, and before either can find happiness, they must learn that affection without understanding is seldom enough.

As old hurts are confronted and long-held assumptions begin to crumble, the Bennets discover that healing is not always comfortable, but it is sometimes necessary.
Set against the beautiful coastline of Lyme Regis, Quiet at Longbourn is a warm and character-driven Pride and Prejudice variation featuring a devoted Darcy, a sympathetic Mrs Bennet, family reconciliation and a satisfying happily-ever-after.

A 45,000 word, low-angst, closed-door Regency romance for readers who enjoy emotional growth, tender courtship and faithful Austen-inspired characterisation.
