About this ebook

"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 nineteenth 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

Austen's Darcy and Elizabeth are loveable because they are beautifully crafted but flawed characters. These condescending do-gooders only associate with the members of the family they deem appropriate and do nothing to help their disadvantaged Wickham nieces and nephews. The much needed light and shade came too late in the chronicles - disappointing!

I have really enjoyed reading this story, so like Jane Austin ' s story. It was moving, loving, catching, heart rendering, and above all else grabbing and not letting go till you've finished. Definitely a great read!

Some truly excellent parts, but they are book ended between dull and overly sentimental parts.
