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.

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!
