Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife*
*FOREWORD MAGAZINE BOOK OF THE YEAR Silver Award
From Booklist
This
rollicking sequel to Jane Austen's Pride and
Prejudice was originally self-published in 1999 as
The Bar Sinister. In Berdoll's wild, bawdy, and
utterly enjoyable novel, the Darcys begin their
married life as one of the happiest, most in-love
couples imaginable.
Berdoll picks up the story after their wedding, but flashes back to the days after the courtship, when Elizabeth and Darcy's passion for each other grew stronger. After a spicy wedding night, the couple finds their compatibility extends far beyond their matched wits. As Elizabeth settles into her role as mistress of a large household, her sister Jane grapples with her own, less passionate marriage to Charles Bingley. Thrown in as well are an illegitimate young man who just might be Darcy's son, a vengeful serving man who plagues the Darcys and develops an unhealthy fixation on Elizabeth, and suspicions of infidelity.
Austenites who enjoy the many
continuations of her novels will find much to love
about this wild ride of a sequel, especially
Berdoll's depiction of the enduring, strong love
between Elizabeth and Darcy.
