Emma + Elsie started from a basic premise—what if two of my favorite Jane Austen characters, Emma Woodhouse and Elizabeth Bennet, were best friends in modern times?
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a women in possession of a good piece of gossip, must be in want of her best friend.
Heartwarming, feminine, and laugh-out-loud funny, Emma + Elsie is a story about a surprising friendship between two girls as they celebrate the end of their teen years and promise never to grow apart.
For fans of Jane Austen, Emma + Elsie is a serialized, modern mashup and retelling of Pride and Prejudice and Emma.
The serial starts with an introduction to Emma Woodhouse and Elsie Bennet, plus an entire cast of players, including Mr. Woodhouse, Mr. and Mrs. Bennet, Jane, Kitty, Lydia, and Mary Bennet, Jace Knightley, Chuck and Caroline Bingley, Mr. and Mrs. Hurst, Mrs. Goddard, Harriet Smith, Annabeth Taylor, Mr. Weston, Lacey Bates, and more.
Emma and Elsie live in the sleepy Louisiana town of Rosebelle, located just 30 minutes south of the River Road. They have just graduated from high school and are enjoying their summer before freshman year at Louisiana State University when they meet Fitzwilliam Darcy, who throws them both completely for a loop.
In between weddings, graduation parties, and The Belle of Roses summer event, they deal with the Bingley party hanging around town and the oddities surrounding the family—particularly the mystery of Fitz Darcy.
