Darcy and Anne (18 page)

“A lovely read—and you don't have to have read
Mansfield Park
to enjoy it.”
—Woman's Own

It's not so easy to keep scandal at bay…

After Fanny Price marries Edmund Bertram, they depart for the Caribbean, and Fanny's younger sister Susan moves to Mansfield Park as Lady Bertram's new companion. Surrounded by the familiar cast of characters from Jane Austen's original, and joined by a few charming new characters introduced by the author, Susan finds herself entangled in romance, surprise, scandal, and redemption.

Joan Aiken's diverting tale vividly imagines how the Crawfords might have turned out, and Jane Austen's moral tale takes new directions—with an unexpected and somewhat controversial ending.

“Her sense of time and place is impeccable.”
—Publishers Weekly

“An excellent sequel…remarkably effective and very funny.”
—Evening Standard

Hold on to your bonnets!

Every woman wants to be Elizabeth Bennet Darcy—beautiful, gracious, universally admired, strong, daring and outspoken—a thoroughly modern woman in crinolines. And every woman will fall madly in love with Mr. Darcy—tall, dark and handsome, a nobleman and a heartthrob whose virility is matched only by his utter devotion to his wife. Their passion is consuming and idyllic—essentially, they can't keep their hands off each other—through a sweeping tale of adventure and misadventure, human folly and numerous mysteries of parentage. This sexy, epic, hilarious, poignant and romantic sequel to
Pride and Prejudice
goes far beyond Jane Austen.
