Marianne: A Sense and Sensibility Sequel

By Alice McVeigh

This classy, classic, second-chance Regency romance - fifth in what PUBLISHERS WEEKLY itself called 'McVeigh's celebrated series' - combines sparkling dialogue with powerful depth of feeling in Austenesque style.

When the widowed Marianne - still beautiful, still impulsive, and not yet twenty-one - returns to London, she's wealthy, with a house in Mayfair and an estate in Dorsetshire. Despite her resolution to remain single, she's besieged by admirers, including the smitten Rushworth, the dangerously attractive Willoughby, and the charming and irreverent Crawford.

Then Marianne's sixteen-year-old sister Margaret arrives - exuberantly romantic but also perilously na ve. In a shocking twist, Margaret finds herself on trial for her life, while Marianne - in need of every friend - finds her resolution tested to the utmost.

"Marianne captures the essence of Austen... She throws together characters that readers love, or love to hate, to see how they gel. The result is funny, heartwarming, and everything lovers of the Austen universe could hope for." -BookLife Prize review, 2025
