It is a truth universally acknowledged that Pride and Prejudice is one of the most popular books written in English. If you loved the original and want more this is one author’s interpretation of what may have happened after Darcy and Bingley married Elizabeth and Jane.  

I found it a humorous book, not quite in Jane Austen’s style. I found the ending a little distracting however overall it was fun to read. It contains most of the characters in the original and shows us a new side to Mr Darcy. It adds some flashbacks to Darcy’s earlier days, a new generation Bingleys and Darcys, another marriage thwarted and ends as it begins, with marriage.
