Sadly this does not fulfill the wish for more. ( ) This is number 5 of the Pemberley Chronicles, a series of sequels to Pride and Prejudice, and I enjoyed this more than I'd expected. The story focuses mostly on Elizabeth and Darcy's daughter Cassandra, and granddaughter Lizzie, and various events in the lives of their extended family and the local inhabitants. Don't read this seeking Austen's art and wit, but I did find myself caring about the characters, and enjoying the way in which their lives quietly unfolded over the course of the novel. The tales of the descendants of Jane and Elizabeth Bennet continue in this 5th installment by Rebecca Ann Collins. Here we follow the story of Cassandra Gardiner, Elizabeth's daughter. She has seen the devastative impact of the death of her sister-in-law on her younger brother, Julian, and assumes the responsibility of not only the rearing of his son but also aiding her father in the management of Pemberley. This book added a bit of a mystery which added one of Lydia's sons to the mix. The story is worthy of Austen's characters but still lacks Austen's style. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

An extraordinary woman in a turbulent era "Jane Austen herself would have been very well pleased." Beverley Wong, author of Pride & Prejudice Prudence The bestselling Pemberley Chronicles series continues the saga of the Darcys and Bingleys from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and introduces imaginative new characters. Charming, beautiful, and intelligent, Cassandra Darcy is undeniably her father's daughter. When her brother Julian falters in his responsibilities as heir to Pemberley, Darcy and Elizabeth turn in desperation to their daughter, and Cassy is thrust into the role of surrogate heir. It will take all of Cassy's inner strength and ingenuity to raise Julian's son, attend to her own happy marriage and children, and keep Pemberley's tenants satisfied. When she is faced with a series of crises--her daughter appears to be involved in an unsuitable affair and her son is unwittingly drawn into a murder investigation--Cassy must act before circumstances spin out of control. Set against a vivid backdrop of dramatic political and social changes sweeping England during the Victorian era, Mr. Darcy's Daughter is the remarkable story of a strong-minded woman in a man's world, struggling to balance the competing demands of love and duty as a daughter, wife, mother, and sister. "With her crisp style, lively dialogue, and a seasoning of gentle humour, Ms. Collins's latest contribution should keep her readers well satisfied."
