It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of intimate male companionship. Jane Austen’s classic romance has been re-envisioned as an elegant boy’s love story. Eliazar Bennet is the second of five sons whose mother wants nothing more for them all to be married off too good husbands. However the issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education, and marriage in the society of an alternate history of the landed gentry of early 19th- century England may keep these young men from finding their true place in society and true love.
