Fifty years since he departed England’s shores for a life of adventure and discovery in far-flung lands, Thomas Bennet finally returns home looking for the one thing that was missing in his life—to be part of a loving family. Finding a warm welcome at Longbourn with his nephew and great-nieces, Uncle Thomas turns their lives upside down, transforming the peaceful existence into a continuous discovery. Amongst the changes that are wrought in the Bennets’ lives, the one constant remains Jane’s love for the absent Mr Bingley, whilst Elizabeth’s confused emotions over the perplexing Mr Darcy are equally apparent to her uncle. No stranger to heartbreak himself, Thomas’s interference ensures his nieces cross paths with the gentlemen that are foremost in their thoughts. Whilst their road to happiness is not always straightforward, the young people may not be the only ones to find true love at the end of it. Filled with love, humour and adventure, this novel offers an unexpected beginning to the old Bennet family story we all know and love.
