Book Reviews of The Pemberley Chronicles: A Companion Volume to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice: Book 1 (The Pemberley Chronicles)
Book Review: Loved it
Summary: 5 Stars
Although this book was quite a history lesson, I loved it and can't wait for the rest of the series. So many of the JA sequels follow the same predictable story line, that I found all of the added characters and history fascinating! The only thing I didn't like, is that Georgiana's story line (and in the 2nd book even more) is very limited. But I loved the expanded story line with the Gardiners. This is a series worth getting into! But be warned, it is not a light or short read. But I do feel that this book is very realistic and is probably a much closer depiction of what their lives would be like than many of the sappy/trashy sequels out there.
Summary of The Pemberley Chronicles: A Companion Volume to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice: Book 1 (The Pemberley Chronicles)
"Those with a taste for the balance and humour of Austen will find a worthy companion volume."-Book NewsThe weddings are over.
The guests (including millions of readers and viewers) wish the two happy couples health and happiness. As the music swells and the credits roll, two things are certain: Jane and Bingley will want for nothing, while Elizabeth and Darcy are to be the happiest couple in the world!
The couples' personal stories of love, marriage, money, and children are woven together with the threads of social and political history of nineteenth century England. As changes in industry and agriculture affect the people of Pemberley and the neighboring countryside, the Darcys strive to be progressive and forward-looking while upholding beloved traditions.
Rebecca Ann Collins follows them in imagination, observing and chronicling their passage through the landscape of their surroundings, noting how they cope with change, triumph, and tragedy in their lives.
"A lovely complementary novel to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. Austen would surely give her smile of approval."
