Continuation of 'Pride and Prejudice'
Mr Darcy and Elizabeth now have two children, Miranda and Edward. Miranda is a model daughter and, were it not for her sex, would make a perfect heir. Edward, alas, would not. Awful questions arise about the succession at Pemberley - must the entail be broken and Edward disinherited, ending the Darcy line on the estate?
As in her bestselling 'Pemberley', Emma Tennant has written a genuinely original novel of stylish irony, wit and insight into early nineteenth-century life and manners.
