More letters from Pemberley, 1814-1819 : a novel of sisters, husbands, heirs, Jane Dawkins. After writing Letters from Pemberley I thought I was done with the Bennets and Darcys and planned to move on to other things. It was something of a surprise to be asked so often for more, and initially I would respond that sorry, I had nothing more to say on the subject. Re-reading Jane Austen’s last book, Persuasion, (like Northanger Abbey, published after her death in 1817) made me think again. In Anne Elliott, Miss Austen gives us a very different, more mature heroine than those in her earlier books.

More Letters from Pemberley: A novel of sisters, husbands, heirs. Jane Dawkins has done a remarkable job creating a continuation of Pride and Prejudice with a cleverly woven story line that satisfies our curiosity about the ongoing lives of our most beloved Jane Austen characters.

The happenings at Pemberley were again told through letters written by Elizabeth Darcy. Heartbreaking events that happened causes our loving couple inconsolable grief, but Lizzy being not one to languish in sorrow for long brings them back to life. While Darcy is laid up, Lizzy learns just how many people's lives depend on him and the success of Pemberley. Amazed by this revelation, Elizabeth comes up with a plan to help elevate the sorrow of those less fortunate than she. Plans are made to open a free school for children up to 11 years old, and a lending library in Lambton. Another couple, the Daleys, friends with the Darcys, plan to open a soup kitchen for those needing meals and delivery of food. Darcy, after meeting Kitty's intended, offers him the living at Boxwood Magna one of Pemberley's holdings. Good story, but again throughout the book "More Letters from Pemberley," and 1814 - 1818 appear on the pages right in the middle of sentences. Some editing would have caught these errors in both books.

DEAD-SHOT

I thoroughly enjoyed the original Letters from Pemberley about Darcy and Elizabeth's first year of marriage and eagerly read through this continuation of that story. Overall I enjoyed the book very much, although I do have a few bits of criticism. First would be that this book was not as detailed (the first book only covered a year while this the second book covered five years yet was not significantly longer than the first). That and the last year in the book having so much drama - while yes, Elizabeth and Darcy would have experienced their share of disappointments and sorrows in life (no life, if attempting to be realistic, is completely free from sorrow). The last year seemed a bit soap opera like, but with a sit-com (we fix all life's problems in 30 minutes) ending. Make no mistake though, I did like the book and should Ms. Dawkins decide to continue the series I will definitely read the next one.

While I enjoy devouring sequels to P & R, this one was basically a good read, but lacking in the more intimate details of the lives of Elizabeth and Darcy. It mostly showed them as the patriarchs of the Pemberly Estate, and Darcy as the flawless do-gooder whose personality was a bit too good to be true. Their proposed idealism amid the setting of trying historic events seemed to me to be at odds with how people of the actual time period would have responded. I do not disapprove of idealism in any way, and it is a novel, but I would have preferred to see more development and intimacy with Elizabeth and Darcy.

This is the second book of letters from Elizabeth Darcy to her sister Jane and other family members and friends. The first covers only one year while this book covers the five following years of her marriage to Darcy and life at Pemberley. Without giving away any plot elements, this book contains real and sometimes heartbreaking events that Jane Austen would probably not have written about but which made me love Elizabeth even more for her courage and strength. I think you'll find this book like hearing from an old friend again.

I kept wanting to like this book because I love Jane Austen, but this book fell quite short of my desire to extend the literary lives of some of my favorite characters.

This was a very fast read but to anyone that loves Darcy and Elizabeth this is a must own! As in the first book, the letters are compelling and so well written that you can certainly follow what has happened through out the years -- and not wonder about possible gaps. Enjoyable from the first letter to the last!

What a delight this book is! If you are familiar with Austin's other works besides Pride and Prejudice, you pick up on who the letters are addressed to. This book is like receiving letters from dear friends.

As I loved Ms. Dawkin's (pseudonym?) first sequel to P&P, I was thrilled to read this second one -- I can never get to much of Lizzy and Darcy, and the tone, spirit and language of these books does not disappoint. I wish, however, that this volume had been more carefully proofread. There are several minor (but annoying) errors, such as missing words, conflicting dates, and contradictory facts (e.g., the age of a character is given as "one year seven months," and later in the SAME LETTER, as "two years seven months." This is nit-picking, I suppose. All in all, I loved the books, and wish there would be a third.
