Devotion

In this sequel to Jane Austens Pride and Prejudice Georgiana Darcy now twenty years old and completely lovely is ripe for marriage. Her brother has carefully selected her future husband but the arrival of a long-delayed letter and a secret journey bring Georgiana into the arms of an utterly wicked and charming young man whose attentions promise her ruin. At the same time events in Meryton are creating much-needed occupation for Mrs. Bennet and a quandary for Lydia Bennets girlhood companion Pen Harrington; and the former Caroline Bingley is given -- perhaps -- an opportunity to re- make some of her disastrous choices. Meg Kerr writing effortlessly and wittily in the style of Jane Austen sweeps the reader back to the year 1816 for a reunion with many beloved characters from Pride and Prejudice and an introduction to some intriguing characters.
