DARCY'S PASSIONS:
PRIDE AND PREJUDICE
RETOLD THROUGH HIS EYES
Regina Jeffers, $14.95
Profound and amusing, this novel captures the style and humor of Jane Austen's novel while turning the entire story on its head. It presents Darcy as a man in turmoil. His duty to his family and estate demand he choose a woman of high social standing. But what his mind tells him to do and what his heart knows to be true are two different things. After rejecting Elizabeth as being unworthy, he soon discovers he's in love with her. But the independent Elizabeth rejects his marriage proposal. Devastated, he must search his soul and transform himself into the man she can love and respect.
 
 
MR. DARCY'S DECISION: A SEQUEL TO JANE
AUSTEN'S
PRIDE AND PREJUDICE
Juliette Shapiro $14.95
Newlyweds Mr. and Mrs. Fitzwilliam Darcy begin their married life quite blissfully, but it is not long before the tranquility they seek is undermined by social enemies. Lady Catherine de Bourgh makes little attempt to hide disdain for her nephew's wife. However, Elizabeth has more pressing matters on her mind—carrying the Darcy heir being the most pleasant of them. Concern mounts with the sudden return of Elizabeth's sister Lydia. Alarming reports of seduction, blackmail and attempts to keep secret the news of another's confinement dampens even Elizabeth's notoriously high spirits.
THE LOST YEARS OF JANE AUSTEN: A NOVEL
Barbara Ker Wilson, $14.95
There was an interval in Jane Austen's life, before any of her novels were published, when she disappeared from sight. This book seeks to fill those missing months with a visit from England to the colony of New South Wales. It is a fact that Austen's aunt, Mrs. Leigh Perrot, was brought to trial on a shoplifting charge. Botany Bay, Australia, was where Mrs. Perrot might have been transported as a convict. Jane Austen and her uncle would have had good reason to visit the unfortunate woman in Sydney Town, where the dashing Mr. D'Arcy Wentworth has settled at Homebush, a convict revolt is brewing at Castle Hill, and no one is quite certain whether the Napoleonic War has ended or not.
MR. DARCY PRESENTS HIS BRIDE:A SEQUEL
TO JANE AUSTEN'S
PRIDE & PREJUDICE
Helen Halstead, $14.95
When Elizabeth Bennet marries the brooding, passionate Mr. Darcy, she is thrown into the exciting world of London society. She makes a powerful friend in the Marchioness of Englebury, but the jealousy among her ladyship's circle threatens to destroy Elizabeth's happiness. Elizabeth is drawn into a powerful clique for which intrigue is the stuff of life and rivalry the motive. Her success, it seems, can only come at the expense of good relations with her husband.
