"Those with a taste for the balance and humour of Austen will find a worthy companion volume."-Book News
The 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."
-Beverly Wong, author of Pride & Prejudice Prudence

A Shout Out to P&P Sequel Fans
THIS IS A MUST OWN FOR YOUR COLLECTION! Meet the next generation of Darcyŋs, Bingleyŋs, Fitzwilliamŋs, and Gardinerŋs in The Pemberley Chronicles. History comes to life through the eyes, ears, and experiences of our favorite Jane Austen characters and some new friends as well. Through ŋthe Chronicles,ŋ Rebecca Collins brings readers into one of the most socially turbulent times in English history. We are swept up not only in the private lives of the characters as they journey through good times and bad, but also into a vortex of the political unrest and even violence which is beginning to creep onto the pastoral scenes so well-known to Austen fans. We see our friends grow and adapt to meet the challenges of their time. Set against a backdrop of the Industrial Revolution with all of its social impacts, who could have foreseen that our dear friends would show their strength and character through political activism, pamphleteering, and even as suffragists? If you love Jane Austen and her charactersŋ If you love your novels peppered with history or subtle social commentaryŋ Even if you simply love a really good readŋ pick up Rebecca Collinsŋ Pemberley Chronicles. Youŋll be glad you did.

The pemberley chronicles
I love all books dealing with Pride and Prejudice! I've read quite a few, and am in fact writing my own. I found this book slow, trite, and rather boring. That being said, it is not a bad read, it just isn't as good as some of the others that I have read.
