title: Pride/Prejudice: A Novel of Mr. Darcy, Elizabeth Bennet, and Their Forbidden Lovers
author:  Ann Herendeen 
description: No Cliff's Notes required for this classic, recast by Herendeen (<i>Phyllida and the Brotherhood of Philander</i>) with a bisexual backstory that would have had the Regency author blushing. Though Herendeen claims she's merely unearthed the hidden story from clues already written into the original, what unquestionably occurs in this unlikely redo is erotic, witty and as often silly as refreshing. Here, Elizabeth Bennett and Fitzwilliam Darcy match wits and sexual appetites while engaging in same-sex relationships, she with older-and-wiser Charlotte, he with younger and pliable Charles Bingley, who struggles with his attraction to Elizabeth's sister, Jane. Sure, the permutations make the already complicated plot even more convoluted, but the sexhokey as it is with all the pulsing and throbbinghelps ease the prideful misunderstandings and ignorant prejudices. <i>(Jan.)</i> <br />Copyright  Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
