MRS DARCY'S DILEMMA a witty and heartwarming sequel to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice
Diana Birchall
Twenty-five years after her marriage to Mr. Darcy, Elizabeth Bennet has become the accomplished mistress of Pemberley and mother to three grown children. As wife, mother, and mistress of one of England’s grandest estates, her life is as orderly as the gardens she oversees — until a letter arrives from her long-estranged sister, Lydia, pleading for help for her two eldest daughters.
Moved by duty more than affection, Elizabeth agrees to host her nieces at Pemberley. But from the moment Betty and Cloe Wickham step over the threshold, they begin to unsettle the careful balance of the Darcy household.
Bettina, bold and breathtaking, soon captures the attention of Fitzwilliam, the Darcy heir. Cloe, quiet but keenly observant, draws the interest of Henry, the second son destined for the church.
As youthful attachments deepen and long-buried scandals stir to life, Elizabeth must reckon with her family’s past — and the price of opening Pemberley’s doors to the next generation of Wickhams.
In a house built on pride, can love still find its way? Or will the past unravel everything the Darcys have fought to preserve?
Brimming with wit, warmth and sharp observation, Mrs. Darcy’s Dilemma is a delight for Jane Austen lovers and perfect for fans of Jo Baker, Pamela Aidan, Joan Aiken, Emma Tennant and Amanda Grange.
