“It is the way of the world, Elizabeth. Men hold power over women, but I am not a man who wants to wield such power. I would prefer a woman who has some power over me.”Fitzwilliam Darcy already has one arranged marriage in his past. The last thing he envisions for himself is another, yet he has somehow become entrapped in a promise to a dying man. Not only must Darcy overcome his resentment in order to live up to his sense of honour, but when he realises how deeply his heart may be engaged, he must convince Elizabeth Bennet of his true feelings.Elizabeth never expected the imperious Mr Darcy to become a good friend of an idle gentleman like her father. And she certainly never anticipated they would form a secret pact compelling her marriage to a man she dislikes. She must set aside grief and resentment, as well as her suspicions: Is Darcy using her to avoid another bride pushed onto him by his family, or to gain riches Elizabeth never knew she had?Or is it possible he loves her?Some Natural Importance is a novel-length Pride and Prejudice Variation

I'm a Jan Ashton fan, and know that her books are always a joy to read and will have a worthy and imaginative story told by a talented storyteller. As the book summary indicates, Darcy is a widower, having married Anne DeBourgh in order to save her reputation and offer her protection before she dies from the "French disease" given to her by an unscrupulous doctor. Now, years later, his Fitzwilliam relatives, Lord and Lady Matlock, are pressuring Darcy to marry their daughter, his cousin Cecelia. Darcy has no intention of marrying again for family duty, so he escapes London and his family, and visits Charles Bingley at Netherfield in Hertfordshire. There he meets the Bennett family.Mr Bennett is gravely ill, but hasn't told his family. He finds a worthy chess partner in Darcy, and the two develop a close friendship that eventually leads to Darcy assisting him in some business matters before he dies. At the same time, Darcy is finding himself drawn to Elizabeth, but she's been told some pretty awful things about Darcy by the sinister Wickham. After the death of Mr Bennett, Elizabeth discovers that her father has been doing some matchmaking in his final days, and she is expected to marry Darcy in order to ensure her family's security. She kind of admires Darcy, but isn't really sure about him and his motivations.Although I enjoyed this book a lot, about 60 percent of it was very depressing. The story behind Lady Catherine and Anne DeBourgh, the cold and calculating Fitzwilliams, even Georgiana and Richard, are all like millstones around the neck of Darcy, bringing him despair and hopelessness. Georgiana is being negatively influenced by the Matlocks, and Richard seems incapable of supporting Darcy against the machinations of his family. Usually you can count on those two to be a source of sanity for Darcy, but not this time. Then there's Elizabeth, her jealousy of her father's friendship with Darcy, her deep melancholy over his death, and then her rage at being manipulated when she finds out her father's wishes for her marriage. About halfway through the book I wasn't sure I could take too much more negativity.The character of Lady Matlock I found to be too over-the-top in her determination to have Darcy for her daughter. Darcy couldn't have been more clear in his declaration that he absolutely would not marry his cousin, yet she continued to pursue him as if she hadn't heard a word he said. Why? It made little sense except to add an ocean of angst that really wasn't needed.There was a lot of repetition of the very emotionally charged dilemmas going through the minds of Elizabeth and Darcy, Elizabeth's questioning of Darcy's motivations and feelings, and her anger with her father, Darcy's uncertainty about his path forward, both for Mr Bennett and for Elizabeth. The same thoughts were hashed out again and again, and I felt some of it could have been edited out.The usual villains are present, except for Lady Catherine, and they're as awful as ever. Add to the mix Lady Matlock, and you've got a group of bad guys that would squash lesser mortals than ODC. The book is well written and well edited. I recommend it highly.
