2 aprile 1985, ore 8.35 A Irisburg, una piccola città nella penisola scandinava, Nikki condivide una vita tranquilla e felice con la sua compagna Simone. Fuori c’è un mondo nuovo: il vecchio mondo patriarcale è stato spazzato via dal Contagio, una pandemia che per generazioni lo ha devastato. Il Contagio infatti era diffuso dagli uomini, che ora vengono quindi tenuti in quarantene a prova di fuga, mentre la società è riservata alle donne, chiamate “portatrici”. Solo così si può evitare che i corpi di portatrici e “diffusori” entrino in contatto.

In this authentic and heartfelt middle-grade novel, Maple uses her artwork to help sort through sibling relationships, school drama, and her parents’ increasingly fraught marriage. Ten-year-old Maple can’t wait for summer: No more math! Adventures with her friends! Best of all, she and Dad are finally going to build a real treehouse. Or are they? Lately Dad has been quick to storm off when he argues with Mom, which happens more and more. Maple seeks refuge in her sketchbook, filling it with comics and other drawings and posing the questions she can’t bring herself to ask anywhere else.

For the last twelve years, he has worked prodigiously in London’s poverty-ridden East End. Will he ever be secure enough to win the heart of a gentleman’s daughter — his mentor's niece, Miss Elizabeth Bennet? Now she is grown up, Miss Elizabeth Bennet’s heart whispers all sorts of possibilities for the grave, well-mannered, mysterious man. She is lost in admiration of his hard work and bold ideas. It also hasn't escaped her observation that he is exceedingly handsome.

Elizabeth Bennet is determined to follow her heart — and the wrong brother. Appearances can be deceptive, and perhaps the impossible isn’t always forever. Fitzwilliam Darcy has lost his birthright. Years of amassing his own fortune might be meaningless if he cannot win her hand. When his malign elder brother arrives uninvited at Netherfield, propriety forces him to stand aside as George decides to steal Elizabeth Bennet’s heart. It will break Darcy’s heart to see her love another — especially George, who can only wish to ruin her.

Elizabeth Bennet will never forgive Mr. Darcy. Never. She refused his offer in the harshest of terms, and he has compounded that sin by forcing her to marry him — for revenge. No, she will never forgive him. But why must he be such a perfect gentleman and make it so difficult? Then Elizabeth discovers that if she doesn’t take him into the marital bed, Pemberley will be lost — and she has learned to love Pemberley. Every man has his price — and it has cost Darcy a fortune. But he would not miss the chance to marry Miss Elizabeth Bennet.

Darcy doesn't like young ladies who unsettle his inner equilibrium, especially those whose impertinent comments offend the inborn pride of his position. Elizabeth Bennet doesn't like proud, arrogant gentlemen, especially those who make disparaging comments about her and her family. Neither of them like being forced to stay under the same roof, especially where circumstances prevent them meeting directly. Each has to imagine what the other is really like. But how can they really know? And which one do they really love?

Mr. Darcy does not believe in love at first sight. So why does the brief sight of a laughing young woman in a London park disturb his thoughts and dreams? Why can’t he stop searching for her, risking embarrassment from his family? When he does find her, he is aghast at the dreadful behaviour of her family. He dare not get involved. Elizabeth Bennet doesn’t believe in love at first sight, either. She is determined to better herself, be able to support herself if her circumstances require it. Then she finds an old, dusty diary hidden in her uncle’s library.
