Suppose all the characters from Pride and Prejudice were somehow transported to a modern corporation, such as an insurance company – or, better yet, a reinsurance company.How does the story play out in such a setting? Some elements need to change, but a surprising amount can be very similar. Apparently, the more things change, the more they stay the same.No special knowledge of either Pride and Prejudice or reinsurance is necessary to enjoy this work – although the seven people in the world with expert knowledge of both can be forgiven some smugness on this point. By turns witty, wise, and surprising, The Promise Behind the Promise stands as the definitive melding of English literature and the insurance world – at least until someone gets around to writing Middlemarch Mutual. Mark MacGougan is the author of Newspaper Boy. He is also the principal author of numerous property-casualty insurance coverage forms – which are generally held to be less entertaining than his his novels, but sell better.
