Reverie and Rancour - By S.E. Granger
from Pride & Prejudice Book Club Podcast · host pandpbookclub
In this week’s episode, we discuss "Reverie and Rancour" by S.E. Granger, a compelling take on the forced marriage trope. The story places Elizabeth and Darcy in an unfortunate situation that leads to an arranged marriage—a plot point that provokes some strong reactions. Alicia, who wasn’t a fan of this trope the last time we encountered it, questions Darcy's redemption arc. Emilie agrees that Darcy’s actions are jerky, but ultimately takes a light hearted view, leading her to question what that says about her! If you enjoy episodes where Emilie and Alicia don't see eye to eye, this one's for you! (Just a heads up, while the majority of the discussion is lighthearted and fun, we do discuss emotional abuse on this episode. If that's not your jam, feel free to skip around a bit!) --- 🎵 Music Credit: Pride & Prejudice Book Club Theme composed, performed, and arranged by Megan Mason. 📚 Curious about our upcoming reads?
