The Darcys & the Bingleys: Pride and Prejudice continues - Softcover

This charming period piece by debut novelist Marsha Altman proves that yes, you can never have too much Darcy and Elizabeth!

I will say this, the book is good and well worth reading. The book is true to the original as far as characters and social conventions... well written, true to the book, and entertaining.

The Darcys and the Bingleys is a sweet, fun, and sparkling homage to Pride and Prejudice that would please even Jane Austen herself.

It was an enjoyable read--it was funny... and kept me turning the pages.

I kept reading the book wanting to find out how the plot would develop. If you simply cannot get enough of Pride and Prejudice's characters, then this book will more than satisfy you.

Recommended? Enthusiastically. Honestly, the more I reflect upon this book, the more I love it... Such fun. I laughed. I gasped. I learned to love Caroline Bingley.

I would definitely recommend this book to fans of Jane Austin who are clamoring for more.

The Darcys and The Bingleys is one of the most enjoyable books, that I have read in ages.

You'll laugh out loud many times while reading The Darcys & the Bingleys. Altman knows how to keep the plot moving.

Ms. Altman has written an amusing supposition of what might have been.

A Tale of Two Gentlemen's Marriages to Two Most Devoted Sisters

Three days before their double wedding, Charles Bingley is desperate to have a word with his dear friend Fitzwilliam Darcy, seeking advice of a most delicate nature. Bingley is shocked when Darcy gives him a copy of an ancient, illustrated book of sensual secrets-but it does tell him everything he needs to know.

Eventually, of course, Jane finds this remarkable volume and in utmost secrecy shows it to her dear sister Elizabeth, who goes searching for a copy in the Pemberley library...

By turns hilarious and sweet, The Darcys & the Bingleys follows the two couples and the cast of characters surrounding them. Miss Caroline Bingley, it turns out, has such good reasons for being the way she is that the reader can't help but hold her in charity. Delightfully, she makes a most eligible match, and in spite of Darcy's abhorrence of being asked for advice, he and Bingley have a most enduring and adventure-prone friendship.
