So, in the back of my very uncooperative brain I have a complete WW-II-fanfiction figured out, but it just refuses to come out, so it has to wait. (Not that I have any other stories, that I could write…). I imagine my story to be quite heroic, dramatic, sentimental etc. – in short, everything Mari A’s wonderful Blackout (posted at DWG) is not. All right, it could be called all that above but in a more hushed down way. First of all, because not – as probably expected – Darcy is the “hero”, but rather Caroline Bingley is the “heroine”, and a great one I might add. Because the blurb says:
One evening changes a lifetime for a former socialite in a country at war.
I like stories with a transformed Caroline and this one is really touching. The way Mari describes the circumstances that lead to a whole new perspective for Caro is so moving. I really felt for her, because suddenly everything was turned upside down. Suddenly Caro is so level-headed and so “normal” and not a bit arrogant or haughty. I loved reading every single sentence of this story. And of course there is a “love interest” for her – but I won’t give away anything from the plot.
The story was finished a few weeks ago and it’s completely safe to read.
