Pemberley: Or Pride and Prejudice Continued

By Emma Tennant

Book Overview

As Jane Austen's beloved novel Pride and Prejudice comes to a close, Elizabeth Bennet proudly announces her engagement to Mr. Darcy, boasting, "We are to be the happiest couple in the world." But after the nuptials, can a marriage between two people as strong-willed as Elizabeth and Darcy survive? With all the wit and style of Jane Austen, Emma Tennant brilliantly imagines both the perils and pleasure of such a marriage.
It's now a year after the wedding, and the time has come for Elizabeth and Darcy to invite their families to visit Pemberley--but not without trepidation, for any gathering that includes both Mrs. Bennet and Lady Catherine de Bourgh must occasion gaffes and hurt feelings. And when Darcy becomes increasingly distant and Elizabeth falls prey to vicious gossip, the forces of pride and prejudice are at work once again in this "eminently enjoyable" continuation of Pride and Prejudice (Los Angeles Times).

Customer Reviews

A Must Read!!!!!

I would give the book Pemberley five stars becuase it is a GREAT book. It is very detailed and to give it a 4 would be lying to you. I would recommend this book to someone that likes to read about the older days and romance. (This book has its good times and bad times!)It has quite - a little bit of adventure and some fighting. This book starts out like every other book - mundane (dull), then as things build up - can't say too much, but this book is a must read!!!!!

One of my favorites!

I gave this book a try and really enjoyed it. Its one of my favorite sequels to P & P...and to those writing LONG hateful comments about the book..you might want to consider the fact that you don't like reading at all and go back to your sexed up historical romance novels.

hard to find book

This was a requested Christmas gift....could not find at local bookstores. Exactly what I was looking for.

WHO NEW? jk this boook was awfull read another book! kiding cant u take a joke? i loved it recomendaTIONS? this boook!

Emma Austin?

No certainly not, but it is a good book in itself. You cannot expect a Jane Austin novel from someone who is not Jane Austin so therefore GET OVER IT... In my opinion this is a good book and at least I got to see a view of what the Darcy's life may have been like. Granted there are a few children mistakes etc, but it is just a book and I love to read and if you always focus on every indiscrepency in any book you cannot truly enjoy it. When I read I go into the book, into the story, I become the characters, I feel what they feel, and I live what they live. That is the joy of a good book, and that is just what you will get with this book. So, don't expect Jane Austen. Expect yet one more great book.
