Joan Aiken, one of Jane Austens most sparkling successors, takes up Austens pen yet again, this time continuing where Pride and Prejudice left off. In Austens classic novel, the arrogant Lady Catherine de Bourgh tries vehemently to prevent the betrothal of her nephew Mr. Darcy, whom she had intended for her daughter Anne, to the less socially connected Elizabeth Bennet. Defeated, she retreats to her grand estate - Rosings Park. This enchanting sequel tells the story of what happens one balmy April day when a sudden blizzard disrupts the weather, causes a carriage accident, and affects the lives of all those involved in a most amazing way.
