A FRESH AND DELIGHTFUL RETELLING OF THE JANE AUSTEN CLASSIC
When Alys's family is invited to the wedding of the century in their town, her mother, the indomitable Mrs Binat, excitedly coaches her five unmarried daughters on the art of husband hunting. Alys's eldest sister Jena quickly catches the eye of a wealthy entrepreneur. But his friend Valentine Darsee doesn't conceal his unfavourable opinion of the Binat family.
As the days of lavish festivities continue, the Binats wait breathlessly to see if Jena will land a proposal - and Alys realises that Darsee's brusqueness hides a very different man to the one she judged at first sight.
