Expectations: A Continuation of Pride and Prejudice (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781453873816)

"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a married man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a son." So begins "Expectations" . . . a sequel to the timeless romance of "Pride & Prejudice". Many have wondered if Darcy and Elizabeth would find a way to a happily ever after with a traditional family as well. The answer here comes in an unexpected way, along a circuitous route that leaves the reader guessing... and turning pages. Katie O'Connor Kenig, The Newsy Neighbor Expectations begins six months after Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice ends. As a newly married woman, Elizabeth Darcy agrees to throw her first ball as mistress of a large and prosperous household. At the same time, she receives a letter from her father encouraging her to produce an heir for her husband, welcomes several visitors to her home and tries to mend broken family relationships via letter. Georgiana Darcy remains unmarried, but feels the pressure to find a suitable mate. Georgiana fights off several marriage proposals while she tries not to fall in love with an old friend.
