Anne de Bourgh escaped Rosings once. Can she return to it without becoming its prisoner again?
Restored in health and newly certain of her own mind, Anne comes home to a world that has not changed at all. Lady Catherine still expects obedience. The county still expects an heiress. And Anne is learning that freedom is not a feeling but a set of practical arrangements - rooms of her own, money in her own name, witnesses, a house with air in it, and a future chosen on purpose rather than permitted. Mr. Arthur Chelmsworth complicates everything by doing the one thing no one at Rosings ever has: he sees Anne not as an invalid to be managed, nor a fortune to be claimed, but as a woman whose judgment deserves to stand. To choose him, Anne must first choose herself - publicly, materially, and in her own hand. It is the bravest, most improper thing a proper young lady can do. A closed-door Pride and Prejudice sequel for readers who love a spinster heroine claiming her own life * a suitor who respects a woman's mind * Austen's manners as moral courage * slow-burn tenderness * and a hard-won, hopeful ending. A Proper Choice is Book 3 of The Smaller Proofs Collection, completing Anne de Bourgh's story. Gentle throughout, no scandal, no spice. Not as long as books 1 and 2, but just as satisfying.Also from
