This novel is a continuation novel to Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I call it a continuation novel instead of a sequel because while it mentions Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy, it really has
nothing to do with them and focuses on their five daughters living in London. The novel is very similar in plot with Pride and Prejudice and at times, I thought it was the same story. I wouldn't even begin to compare Aston with Austen, but she does right and interesting novel.Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy are sent away on a diplomatic mission to Constantinople and their daughters go to live with cousins in London. Similar to the first novel, the girls are all single and the talk of the town. Unlike the previous novel, the girls are rather wealthy and pursued by all eligible bachelors in town. This causes some upheaval and some interesting pairings. As I mentioned earlier, I don't like to call this a sequel to Pride and Prejudice, but it is an interesting novel in it's own way.
