Helpful Score: 2


Picking up 20 years after Pride and Prejudice left off, Elizabeth and Darcy have gone to Constantinople, and have left their five daughters in the care of the Fitzwilliams. While the eldest, Letitia, frets and the youngest, Alethea, practices her music, twins Georgina and Belle flirt and frolic their way through parties and balls and Camilla - levelheaded and independent - discovers what joys and sorrows the city has to offer an intelligent young woman.

A fun read for any Austen fan. Many Austen characters make a comeback, such as Caroline Bingley, the Gardiners and Lydia. Although the author has removed Elizabeth and Darcy and the time period is much later, it's hard to believe that their children would turn out that way.
