Being desperate to hear (even) more of Lizzy and Darcy I was thrilled to read More Letters From Pemberley. Having loved Pride and Prejudice and been impressed with Letters from Pemberley, this could not disappoint. And it didn't. I particularly liked the fact that the letters were not only to Jane, but to other members of the family and friends too. It was nice to 'catch-up' with a lot of familiar faces. Of course, spanning 5 years meant that there was perhaps less detail than the original 'Letters', but where detail was needed it was provided with the consistant 'Austen touch'. I truly loved this book too, and would warn other devotees to set aside an entire evening so that it may be read in one sitting - you will not be able to put it down - and without giving too much away, perhaps have a box of tissues handy. As I said, it is an emotional roller coaster! I would recommend this book to anyone who loves Lizzy and Darcy and is keen to know more of them.

This was the second sequal to pride and prejudice i ever read (Letters from pemberley being the first) I found that this book was interesting and was faithful to the original. In my opinion letter format means that you miss chunks of story, which can leave it a bit gappy at times, but i did enjoy reading about how Darcy and Elizabeth spent their time, and i will definitley read it again.

Satisfying Read
13 Nov 2003
As I loved Ms. Dawkin's (pseudonym?) first sequel to P&P, I was thrilled to read this second one -- I can never get to much of Lizzy and Darcy, and the tone, spirit and language of these books does not disappoint. I wish, however, that this volume had been more carefully proofread. There are several minor (but annoying) errors, such as missing words, conflicting dates, and contradictory facts (e.g., the age of a character is given as "one year seven months," and later in the SAME LETTER, as "two years seven months." This is nit-picking, I suppose. All in all, I loved the books, and wish there would be a third.

Diverting!
14 Mar 2004
I truly enjoyed reading this book. I thought it was better than the first installment (Letters from Pemberley). I was especially touched with the clever and subtle way that the author weaved into this novel the date of Jane Austen's death in July 1817. I recommend this book to all those people who are eternally fascinated with Elizabeth Bennett and Fitzwilliam Darcy.

Better than the first effort...
23 April 2006
I somewhat enjoyed Letters from Pemberley and thought I'd give More Letters from Pemberley a whirl as well. This is the sequel to Jane Dawkins's first continuation of Pride and Prejudice and this installment shows a series of letters from 1814 to 1819 that talk about Darcy and Lizzy's marriage. In these letters, Lizzy is more heartfelt as she talks about the different struggles she and Darcy experience with Christmas at Pemberley, family conflict, and the painful loss of a child and the gift of finally having an heir. Lizzy eloquently conveys the message that having good social connections and being the mistress of a respectable estate aren't everything in life.
I liked this installment much more than Letters from Pemberley because Dawkins deals with much more in-depth conflicts and intrigue. Lizzy speaks with quite a somber tone in most of the letters. This installment also has more of a Regency and Pride and Prejudice feel than the previous book. Jane Dawkins's growth as an author is evident here. I still don't like the fact that we only read Elizabeth's letters though. And I still would have liked to see more of Lizzy's wit in these letters, at least in the lighthearted ones. Other than that, this is a great effort. This is a novel in letter format throughout, which doesn't leave too much room for an intricate plot, hence the short review. However, you will enjoy this book and I recommend Letters from Pemberley and More Letters from Pemberley to devoted Austen/P&P fans.
