Will Darcy ever grow to love a child he never wanted?

In Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, Fitzwilliam Darcy’s proposal to Elizabeth Bennet at Hunsford is disastrous. In Jan Hahn’s The Child, Darcy flees England soon afterward, striving to overcome his longing for her. Upon his return two years later, while standing on the steps of St. George’s Church in Hanover Square, he spies the very woman he has vowed to forget. But who is the child holding her hand?

Darcy soon discovers that Elizabeth and her family are suffering the effects of a devastating scandal. His efforts to help the woman he still loves only worsen her family’s plight. His misguided pride entangles him in a web of falsehood, fateful alliances, and danger.

Will Elizabeth be able to forgive Darcy for his good intentions gone awry? And what effect will the child have on Darcy’s hopes to win Elizabeth’s love?

Elizabeth is a strong character making the best of her family's plight after Lydia's foolish elopement leaves her family scorned and raising a motherless child. Darcy's love for Elizabeth endures through years of separation and circumstances that have him making wrong decisions and poorly contrived solutions before he and Elizabeth find their HEA.
Thank you, Jan Hahn for your wonderful work! This is a favorite story and I return to it time and time again, especiallyas an audio book. When I love a story and the audio version is narrated well, this is what moves me to buy it. Mr Mcfarlane's portrayal of Darcy, Elizabeth and the cast of characters is one I seek first when purchasing an audiobook; I wish he narrated more.

A story of good intentions gone awry and the joy of reconciliation following redemption.
