She wakes up as Sarah, a student at an elite girls' school in nineteenth-century London. It's her first birthday since arriving at the school. The headmistress affectionately calls her a little princess, her classmates crowd around her with envious smiles and birthday wishes, and the table is piled high with fine clothes and toys sent by her father, who runs a diamond-mining business in a foreign land.
According to the original story, on her birthday a year later, the headmistress will learn that her father's business has gone bankrupt and he has died. Sarah will go from princess to servant. A few years after that, her father's business partner will discover that the diamond mine is actually worth a fortune, allowing Sarah to inherit the estate and return to a life of comfort.
But can someone tell her why she's nearly ten years older than she is at the start of the original story? Why is her best friend Georgiana Darcy? Why is her new substitute British literature teacher Miss Jane Eyre? And why, before she has even made her fortune, has the childhood friend next door in the attic gone from a barber's son to an industrial magnate?
[Crossovers of A Little Princess, Pride and Prejudice, and Jane Eyre, with the timelines blended together in the first half of the nineteenth century. No need to have read the original works to enjoy this.]
