Year: 1900
Setting: Brooklyn, New York
Elizabeth Bennet knew about a lot of things at the age of fifteen: she read a lot of books and observed all the latest inventions and even the ridiculous fashions of the wealthy women she saw walking around town. However, if all her plans were going to work out, she had to finish high school, which was her top priority right now. She couldn't listen to her mother and give up everything in order to marry the son of some landlord, and she especially didn't want to take her father's advice and just settle with factory work. They weren't in Ireland anymore. This was America, the land of opportunity. The poor didn't have to stay poor here and women didn't have to hope for a wealthy man to want to marry them by chance. The only people who liked her plan were her sisters, Jane and Mary, but everyone else thought it was impossible. But Elizabeth was determined to go to college and become a writer even if no one would support her.
And then she met , a British heir who was just making a visit in New York, and everything changed, both for the better and the worse.
