"A chess game of love and betrayal."
Description
For fans of Pride and Prejudice and Jane Austen devotees everywhere, a charming and delightful novel for anyone who has ever wondered what the Darcy children might be like.
Picking up twenty years after Pride and Prejudice left off, Mr. Darcy’s Daughters gives us an opportunity to get to know Darcy and Elizabeth’s five daughters, who have left the sheltered surroundings of Pemberley for a few months in London. While the eldest, Letitia, frets and the youngest, Alethea, practices her music, twins Georgina and Belle flirt and frolic their way through parties and balls, while Camilla—levelheaded and independent—discovers what joys and sorrows the city has to offer an intelligent young woman.
Featuring many beloved characters from the delightful Gardiner family to the wayward Aunt Lydia, Mr. Darcy’s Daughters is a charming read for any Jane Austen fan.
Charming, beautifully written, and full of societal intrigue and romantic high jinks, Mr. Darcy's Daughters is a tale that would please Austen herself.
Reviews
"Imagine poor Mr. Darcy with five marriageable daughters of his own! Aston takes us on a romp through late Regency society."
"I read [Mr. Darcy's Daughters] in two gulps and greatly enjoyed it...The invented daughters are fun—prissy Letty, witty Camilla, musical Alethea, the unbridled twins—and their ups and downs in London society make a lively story."
"[A] beach book for historical fiction fans."
