“Those with a taste for the balance and humour of Austen will find a worthy companion volume.” — Book News
The weddings are over.
The guests (including millions of readers and viewers) wish the two happy couples health and happiness. As the music swells and the credits roll, two things are certain: Jane and Bingley will want for nothing, while Elizabeth and Darcy are to be the happiest couple in the world!
The couples’ personal stories of love, marriage, money and children are woven together with the threads of social and political history of 19th century England. As changes in industry and agriculture affect the people of Pemberley and the neighboring countryside, the Darcys strive to be progressive and forward-looking, while upholding beloved traditions.
Rebecca Ann Collins follows them in imagination, observing and chronicling their passage through the landscape of their surroundings, noting how they cope with change, triumph and tragedy in their lives.
“A lovely complementary novel to Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. Austen would surely give her smile of approval.” — Beverly Wong, author of Pride & Prejudice Prudence
