内容简介 Newlyweds Mr and Mrs Fitzwilliam Darcy begin their married life at Pemberley quite blissfully but it is not long before the tranquillity they relish is cut short by a series of traumas. The formidable Lady Catherine de Bourgh makes little attempt to hide her distain for her nephew’s wife. She is joined by Caroline Bingley, as sharp tongued and resentful as ever, in the shared amusement of criticising Elizabeth. But the new mistress of Pemberley soon has more pressing matters on her mind, the fact that she is carrying the Darcy heir being the most pleasant of them. The sudden return of her sister Lydia brings cause for concern. Alarming reports of a seduction, blackmail and the need to keep news of another’s confinement secret dampen even Elizabeth’s notoriously high spirits and Darcy shows his true character when faced with the most difficult decision of his life. Has he been softened by his love for Elizabeth or is his former remoteness about to be resurrected? --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
作者简介 Juliette Shapiro comes from a literary family, her father is American writer Milton J Shapiro and she is married to her agent, Christopher Holroyd, son of ‘Angry Young Man’ Stuart Holroyd. Juliette turned down a publishing deal at the age of fifteen, a decision that many people thought she would regret. She never did. Juliette worked in the publishing industry before starting a family and now works as a freelance writer who has contributed to Verbatim, The Language Quarterly, Quality Women’s Fiction, The Nexus Media Group and The Jane Austen Magazine. She lives in a Sanditon-like town in East Sussex with her family. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
