Do you ever wonder what happened to Mr. Darcy and Eliza Bennet after they married? At the library, I discovered the book "Pemberley, or Pride and Prejudice Continued."
Author Emma Tennant does a fair job representing Jane Austen's beloved characters in a scenario that brings the entire Bennet, Darcy, Bingley and de Bourgh families together for the first Christmas since the weddings.
It's full of family rivalries, jealousies, misunderstandings, and of course, Mr. Darcy's propensity toward pride and the new Mrs. Darcy's propensity toward prejudice.
If you're a diehard Austen fan, you may not want to bother. But if you have a desire to continue the saga and are willing to grant the author some leniency, I recommend the book.
Of course, I have "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" and "Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters", both recent gifts to me, awaiting.
