Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The trials and tribulations of the Bennet family continue. Elizabeth, now Mrs Darcy and mistress of the great estate of Pemberley, is blissfully married and considers it her responsibility to ensure that Darcy's sister, Georgiana, and his cousin, Anne, daughter of the daunting Lady Catherine de Bourgh, achieve a similar state. Yet Georgiana and Anne are both so shy that surely they will require a helping hand from Elizabeth, and how is she to outwit the formidable Lady Catherine? But while Lizzie has her attention on those at Pemberley and Rosings, intrigue is afoot at her former home of Longbourn, where her sisters, Kitty and Mary, and, more alarmingly, her father, seem to have all fallen under the spell of a certain Mrs Castlemain. Only one more thing is needed for Elizabeth and Darcy's happiness to be complete. But, in the meantime, Darcy is once again confronted with the shadows of the past, and Elizabeth is horrified to find that she might be turning into her mother! A charming sequel to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.

I give this book 4 stars out of 5 in comparison to other Austen-anything-goes books, not compared to other books overall. It's not great literature. However, it was a quick, easy read, and I found myself hurrying to get back to it, it was nice to be with the "crew" again. I find most attempts at Austen are horrifying (read my other Amazon reviews) - usually the language is wrong, the characters are off (in some cases just painfully so), the plot is not interesting or sensible. This book did pretty well on all those counts, so I happily overlook a thing or two that was not spot-on with P&P. The language was not perfect, but pretty good, just a little too formal or stiff, I thought. I was pleased with the direction the plot took (yeah for Mr. Bennet!), although nearly every single thing that happens you can see coming from the beginning of the book. I thought the relationship between Elizabeth and Darcy was pretty close to how I thought it should be; I am very surprised by what one of the other reviewers wrote (particularly because I am usually the lone reviewer saying negative things). To say there was no interaction between the Darcy & Elizabeth other than furtive glances across the room just seems plain wrong to me - I think the book is primarily interactions between the two of them - conversations and much physical (not sexual) intimacy. Elizabeth was NOT a matchmaker a la her mother - there was no sending the girls off alone on horseback in a storm type of plotting, just thinking and hoping and maybe trying to create opportunity - but truly, in this time, that is part of her "job". Elizabeth is aware of what she is doing and struggles to do it in moderation, and not in the big obvious-to-everyone way her mother did; it seems done lovingly, as - in keeping with the original characters for Anne & Georgiana - these girls are, let's face it, going to need a little help. I sincerely recommend this book for anyone who wants to get back with the P&P characters for just a little while.

I agree with a previous commentor that this book was a very enjoyable and quick read. I was very delighted. I considered the role of Elizabeth as one of one very young and opinionated as indicated in the book Pride and Prejudice as well as the the 3 hour TV version. However, I considered the fact that Elizabeth was young at the time of this marriage and somewhat intimidated by actually living a different class. I would like to see a follow-up book by Isobel Scott Moffat displaying Elizabeth's confidence growing and coming to fruitation, espcially since the birth of her son! Looking forward to a sequel!

This was a quick, fun read. I liked it and felt that there were some liberties taken with the characters, but nothing too outrageous. I wished Elizabeth had a little more spunk though!

I had hoped this would be a new viable source of pleasure when it comes to Jane Austen sequels, but it became the book I read at night when I wanted to fall asleep. It left me wanting so much more. Where was the interaction between Darcy and Elizabeth? A few furtive glances across the room do not make it for me.
The author has Elizabeth and Darcy reconcile with Lady Catherine; Elizabeth even feels sorry for Darcy's aunt, and she "accepts" Elizabeth's meddling in her affairs. Mrs. Bennet dies, and Mr. Bennet marries again, finally getting an heir for Longbourn and knocking out Mr. Collins' aspirations. Georgiana and Anne deBourgh are not only cousins; they are close in age and are friends. Elizabeth becomes a "matchmaker," reminiscent of her mother, for these two girls.
The book covers a two to three year period. The author does not get the chronology correct. If Georgiana was 15 when Mr. Wickham tried to seduce her, she would have been between 16 and 17 when Darcy married Elizabeth. That would make her 18 to 20 years of age when the action of this book took place, but the author still portrays her as 16-17 in her actions. Then Anne should be closer to Darcy's age, not 18-20 years old. She was supposed to be older than Elizabeth in the original, and at Hunsford, Lady Catherine asks Elizabeth her age. She was 20 at the time, making her close to 21 when she married Darcy, who was supposed to be 28.
Like the previous review, these facts bothered me to the point I could not enjoy the book. It hurts me to write a bad review for a P&P book for I usually find them fulfilling in some way, but this one falls short.

The author missed some of the details in Pride and Prejudice. These errors were disturbing to me and interrupted the reading of the book.
I cannot recommend this book to any fan of Pride and Prejudice.
