Pemberley Manor - Softcover

Nelson has created an excellent backstory for Darcy, and re-creates the feel of Jane Austen's witty dialogue and deep characters with great success. -- Kathy Perschmann "Armchair Interviews" (01/23/2009)

This book was thoroughly, thoroughly engrossing from page 1... Kathryn Nelson was incredibly successful in importing the Regency era into my mind and then whisking me away into the world of the Darcy's new marriage. -- Dana "Reading Romance Books" (02/03/2009)

Quite an excellent book! Very engrossing. -- Keira Gillet "Love Romance Passion" (03/23/2009)

[O]ne of the most thought provoking and satisfying Austen sequels that I have ever read. -- Laurel Ann Nattress "AustenProse" (03/30/2009)

The tension she injects into Lizzy and Darcy's relationship is palpable and can be felt throughout the novel. -- Grace Loiacano "Grace's Book Blog" (03/30/2009)

Nelson took me back to a world and characters that I love. I found her back story very believable, the characters' motivations true to Austen's classic, and the setting close to perfect -- Cathy Cole "Kittling" (03/31/2009)

Nelson "gets it." She can write in a Regency style... Her prose is smooth and her tone is confident, much like Austen's. -- Jessica Emerson "AustenBlog" (04/02/2009)

I really enjoyed reading "Pemberley Manor"... Kathryn L. Nelson stays true to Austen's characters while inserting a few new characters into the storyline.
-- Naida Milenkovic "The Bookworm 07" (04/08/2009)

"Pemberley Manor" is an enjoyable read. -- Marlene "Once Upon a Romance" (04/09/2009)

Kathryn Nelson's "Pemberley Manor" is one of the good ones, sympathetic to the writing style of Jane Austen, not changing any of the characters significantly, and adding a few of her own characters to enliven the story. -- Helen Hancox "Curled Up With a Good Book" (04/15/2009)

How does "happily ever after" really work?

With such different personalities, Darcy and Elizabeth surely need to work on their communication skills! Unlike Jane and Bingley, both of whom are easygoing and friendly, the Darcys are definitely a case where opposites attract.

Through their dramatic courtship, Lizzy finally saw through Darcy's rigid pride and sense of duty, and Darcy fell in love with Lizzy's sunny optimism and independence of spirit. Now that they're married, what will happen when their fundamentally different personalities reassert themselves? Uncover the true feelings of one of the world's most famous couples during their first year of marriage.
