As in this author’s previous books, the characters in this book are those found in Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice plus others he has introduced in previous books, however, familiarity with the previous books is not necessary. This novel, in three parts, begins in Lambton when Darcy encounters Elizabeth Bennet in her granduncle’s store. Elizabeth still dislikes Darcy for his part in the separation of her elder sister Jane and Mr. Bingley, Darcy’s friend. It is the first time Darcy has seen Elizabeth in nine months, since his visit to Bingley at Netherfield Park, the estate next to Longbourn, the Bennet estate. Because of a major fire at Pemberley, Darcy was forced to return to Pemberley before Bingley hosted his first ball at Netherfield and also before his old nemesis, George Wickham, appeared in the local town of Meryton. Part one of the book explores the trial and tribulations of Darcy and Elizabeth’s relationship and introduces us to the Darcy twins. Elizabeth is injured while visiting Pemberley and must convalesce at Pemberley for several weeks. Elizabeth’s sister Kitty comes to stay with her and when she and Darcy’s sister, Georgiana, are introduced to one another, they find themselves to be kindred spirits. Eventually, Kitty goes to live with the Darcys, and she and Georgiana become so close, many start to call them the Darcy twins. Intertwined in Part one is also the story of Mary, Elizabeth’s next younger sister. Parts two and three, occurring the next year, describe the love adventures of Kitty and Georgiana after their debut in London-Part two being Kitty’s story and Part three being Georgiana’s story. The Epilogue covers what happens to Lydia, the youngest of the Bennet sisters. Each part is written in the first person of the title character of that part.
