Product Description

Georgianna Darcy has a flattering array of suitors in this charming continuation of Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice. As the sister of Fitzwilliam Darcy, Georgianna is assured of a large dowry. It's up to her to weed out the fortune hunters amongst her beaus. But can she further determine who loves her for all that she represents in the way of beauty and innocence and who loves her for all of herself?

Undertones of choices, convictions and life's ironies feed this engaging romp that introduces the captivating Jacob Markwood and other new characters as well as continuing the lives of favorites Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth, Jane and Mr. Bingley, Kitty, Wickham and Caroline.

By Mrs. D. J. Smith VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
In this Jane Austen 'sequel', Burris takes up the Pride & Prejudice reins, choosing Georgiana Darcy as her heroine. Old friends appear along with a new cast of characters. Burris takes a much larger canvas than Austen and includes things that Austen never did - political discussion and scenes taking place where only men are present. You also spend time inside the heads of several different characters where Austen just tends to stick with her heroine. This isn't particularly a criticism - no one can out-Austen Austen! - but rather an observation so you know what to expect. I really enjoyed the story and found the new characters well written and the original characters faithful. There were a few little discrepancies, such as Mr Wickham having continued for a time in Colonel Forster's regiment when in Pride & Prejudice we see him banished to the Regulars in Newcastle. We get a little bogged down with christianity at times, but overall this is among the better of the 'sequels' and I found it a very enjoyable read.

The only think I found a bit irritating was the Americanised spelling, which tends to jar when you think you are supposed to be reading a novel based in Regency England!

Religious overtones 19 May 2007
Format:Paperback
I think this book could have been written by Mary Bennett. The heavy theme of Christianity was unrealistic and quite uncomfortable at times. I can't understand why the author chose to make the hero so religiously zealous because he came across more like Mr Collins than Mr Darcy. The story was okay but nothing spectatular and Kitty Bennett's end was unsatisfactory. Georgiana Darcy was a good heroine but his was not enough to stop the book being at best mundane!!!

By Eendje
Format:Paperback
Having read the very positive reviews, and being a Jane Austen fan, I decided to purchase this book. Unfortunately, I am not as enthusiastic as the other reviewers are. I did enjoy the book, but not as a Jane Austen sequel. It is a nice, romantic story about Georgina Darcy and her suitors. At times, Ms Burris' writing can be compared to that of Jane Austen. But don't expect this book to be a real sequel to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. Enjoy it for what it is, an entertaining novel, but nothing too special.
