Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
To the delight of the many readers who loved Letters from Pemberley, Jane Dawkins’s popular continuation of Pride and Prejudice, More Letters from Pemberley continues the story of Elizabeth (Bennet) Darcy’s married life, picking up in 1814 and following this most popular of Jane Austen characters for another six years to the twilight of the Regency period in 1819.
Writing to her beloved sister Jane, the irrepressible Lizzie describes life as mistress of Pemberley and her relationship with the dashing Fizwilliam Darcy. Highlights include a Darcy family Christmas, the inevitable conflicts that might arise even in such an illustrious family and the happiness of the birth of an heir.
Again incorporating Jane Austen’s own words and characters from her other works (who appear here with different names, either associated with Austen’s life, borrowed from another of her novels or a word-play on their original name), Jane Dawkins has created another satisfying and entertaining tale.

While I enjoy devouring sequels to P & R, this one was basically a good read, but lacking in the more intimate details of the lives of Elizabeth and Darcy. It mostly showed them as the patriarchs of the Pemberly Estate, and Darcy as the flawless do-gooder whose personality was a bit too good to be true. Their proposed idealism amid the setting of trying historic events seemed to me to be at odds with how people of the actual time period would have responded. I do not disapprove of idealism in any way, and it is a novel, but I would have preferred to see more development and intimacy with Elizabeth and Darcy.

I thoroughly enjoyed the original Letters from Pemberley about Darcy and Elizabeth's very first year of marriage and eagerly read through this continuation of that story. Overall I enjoyed the book very much, although I do have a few bits of criticism. First would be that this book was not as detailed (the very first book only covered a year while this the second book covered five years yet was not significantly longer than the first). That and the last year in the book having so much drama - while yes, Elizabeth and Darcy would have experienced their share of disappointments and sorrows in life (no life, if attempting to be realistic, is completely free from sorrow). The last year seemed a bit soap opera like, but with a sit-com (we fix all life's problems in 30 minutes) ending. Make no mistake though, I did like the book and should Ms. Dawkins decide to continue the series I will definitely read the subsequent one.
