The Darcys of Pemberley is the tale of two romances: the continuation of Darcy and Elizabeth’s story, and the courtship of Miss Georgiana. For those who didn’t want Pride and Prejudice to end, this novel gives the opportunity to learn what happens after the wedding, to revisit old friends and foes, and to share the next chapter of their lives. 

My thoughts:

This is a PP sequel. Darcy and Lizzy are married. Family and friends are visiting. Georgiana is entering society, and might have a secret love (well yes she had a secret love ;)

Life goes on. They are happy. Some guests are overstaying their welcome. They wonder if Lady de Bourgh will forgive them (not that they care, cos she is a bitch.) The Wickhams are being bad as always. Babies are born and you will see all your old favorites :)

A nice sequel. I'd like to read more to see if Kitty and Mary finds love.

Lydia Bennet is the flirtatious, wild and free-wheeling youngest daughter. Her untamed expressiveness and vulnerability make her fascinating to readers who'll love this imaginative rendering of Lydia's life after her marriage to the villainous George Wickham. Will she mature or turn bitter? Can a girl like her really find true love?

In Lydia Bennet's Story we are taken back to Jane Austen's most beloved novel, Pride and Prejudice, to a Regency world seen through Lydia's eyes where pleasure and marriage are the only pursuits. But the road to matrimony is fraught with difficulties and even when she is convinced that she has met the man of her dreams, complications arise. When Lydia is reunited with the Bennets, Bingleys, and Darcys for a grand ball at Netherfield Park, the shocking truth about her husband may just cause the greatest scandal of all ...

My thoughts:

Lydia is such a foolish , foolish girl. So no, I can't say I liked her, I have never liked her. But, she is rather amusing to read about. She is a silly flirt who makes a foolish decision. We all know that.

So this is the story of how Lydia flirts with any man in a uniform, how she goes to Brighton and how she and Wickham run away together.

Foolish girl. But there is a bright side to it all, Lydia will eventually learn her lesson. And I mean eventually, it takes a long long time to get through to her. But there is hope for all, and in the end, I actually liked her.
