Writer’s
This new edition of A Darcy Christmas presents a beautifully refined text and an elegant new cover, inviting readers into a richer, warmer vision of the final months of 1812, while keeping the story itself mostly unchanged from the previous edition.
What better way to close 2025 than with a Pride and Prejudice novella overflowing with love, joy, family triumphs, kisses beneath the mistletoe, unexpected engagements… and a few surprising marriages?
The year has not been gentle with the Bennets, yet it seems resolved to end in happiness. Jane’s heartache melts into newly found marital bliss; Lydia’s reckless elopement is redeemed by a marriage that spares the family from disgrace; and Elizabeth—spirited, thoughtful, and ever independent—finds herself accepting Mr Darcy at her parents’ urging, even before she is entirely certain of her own heart.
From Longbourn to London and on to a glittering Christmas celebration, this cheerful and emotionally rewarding novella embraces the close of Pride and Prejudice: clarifying moments, expanding events, and, at times, reshaping circumstances. Through the memories, hopes, and confessions of all our beloved characters, it reveals a season woven with reconciliations, renewed bonds, and unexpected joys.
Kitty, Mary, and even gentle Georgiana embark upon journeys of the heart, each touched by love in ways that astonish the entire family. Lydia, too, makes her appearance—though under very particular conditions.
And Elizabeth? She enters her marriage with lingering doubts, not yet entirely sure of her feelings for Darcy…but destiny, patient and steadfast, guides her step by step towards affection, trust, tenderness—and, at last, passion, once she becomes the mistress of Darcy’s life.
A warm, romantic, and joyous tale perfect for the season, A Darcy Christmas beckons you back into Austen’s world at its brightest, where every heart finds its place and every wish glimmers with possibility.
