Elizabeth's Dreams of Egypt by Cassie Miller
This novella is from an unnumbered series of books that reuse characters from the classic Pride and Prejudice in different settings, circumstances, etc. Here, the situation is that Jane has been kidnapped by Wickham, and the family is distressed. Darcy comes to Jane and she confesses what has her upset. As he attempts to trace them, he manages to be partially successful.
Elizabeth, accompanied by her aunt, goes by ship with Darcy and Bingley to Egypt where the trail takes them. As the ship stops in various locations, Elizabeth enjoys the new experiences, but her focus remains on her sister.
This is a short book, with little explanation or detail, and no real inner thoughts included. Really just a mechanism for reusing the characters and parts of the original story. While I read the book to meet a challenge for a book set in Egypt, and there were some descriptions of historical sites, it feels dishonest to use it for that challenge, so I won't be.
