βSomeday some lark is gonna spell you with a song, Will Darcy. Sheβll call you with music and youβll be as good as lost.β
In the autumn of 1948, young millionaire Will Darcy comes to the sleepy, backwater town of Meryton, South Carolina to visit his best friend, Charles Bingley. When Darcy becomes enchanted by a local beauty with a heavenly voice, his business dealings with Longbourn Farms may close the door to his romantic hopes before they are given a chance to thrive.
Still healing from heartbreak, Elizabeth Bennet takes solace in her family, home, and the tight-knit community of Meryton. That foundation is shaken when Will Darcy makes a successful offer to buy the family farm. Blinded by hurt, will Elizabeth miss the chance to find in him the peace and comfort her heart truly needs?
Confronting the racial, economic, and social inequalities of the times, Longbournβs Songbird is an imaginative romance inspired by Jane Austenβs Pride & Prejudice and told through the lens of postwar America, a story layered with betrayal and loss, love and letting go.
