Product Description

Book Description

Conviction, a satirical, original sequel to Jane Austen's timeless classic Pride and Prejudice, reveals the romantic destiny of Georgiana Darcy. The author, however, does not rest on the laurels of Austen; she introduces an entirely new cast of characters, including an ambitious soldier, a wistful vicar, a flirtatious abolitionist, and an ordinary curate. The fates of these characters intertwine as each struggles to find the conviction to live out his or her own calling, while confronting issues of loyalty, courage, faith, and love. Conviction is not a novel merely for fans of Pride and Prejudice, but for all who take part in the ordinary struggles of humanity.


From the Back Cover

REVISED: As the sister of Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, Georgiana is
assured of a large dowry. It's up to her to weed out the fortune hunters
among her beaus. But will she be able to determine which man most
complements her spirit? And, once she has given her word to one man, can
she train her heart to obey? Questions of loyalty, faith, conviction, and
love feed this engaging romp, which introduces the captivating vicar Jacob
Markwood, an ambitious soldier, a flirtatious abolitionist, and an ordinary
curate while continuing the lives of favorites Mr. and Mrs. Darcy and Kitty
Bennett. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Georgiana Takes Centre Stage, 17 Mar 2005
By Mrs. D. J. Smith "eowyngreenleaf" (Luton, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars an excellent book, 27 Dec 2004
By A Customer
I first read this on the internet and had no idea it was now published! I'm really pleased and will be purchasing it. Skylar writes just like Jane Austen. There are hints at sexual activities but that's really it. Anything else would make it...wrong and completely unlike the original book. I love Skylar's Georgiana.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant Read, 24 Jun 2004
By Lynne Robson "Lynne Robson" (Dronfield, Derbyshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This story is mainly based on the growing up of Georgiana Darcy, the sister to Fitzwilliam Darcy of Pemberley. It starts after the marriage of her brother to Miss Elizabeth Bennet, showing the closeness both sisters become.

Georgiana, is now out in society, and encouraged by Elizabeth and Darcy to except callers at her homes. One caller is an obnoxous politician, who polite shy Georgian puts up with when he calls. She has other nicer callers one whome Georgiana thinks herself in love with, and gets engaged to. Unfortunately, because of a long absence before her marriage, Georgiana finds that she is really in love with someone else. All turns out well in the end.

Many of our favourite characters are still around, and not some Miss Bingley is there and still obnoxious. Jane and Mr Bingley have a young son and towards the end of the book Elizabeth and Darcy have a daughter.

I have read a few books on the growing up of Georgiana and found this to be the better one. You can almost see her grow up into a beautiful young woman between the pages of this book. I can recommend this to all Jane Austen fans, especially those who love sequels. This book is a must have.
