A complex and charming young woman of the Victorian age, tested to the limits of her endurance

The bestselling
Pemberley Chronicles
series continues the saga of the Darcys and Bingleys from Jane Austen's
Pride and Prejudice
and introduces imaginative new characters.

Anne-Marie Bradshaw is the granddaughter of Charles and Jane Bingley. Her father now owns Longbourn, the Bennet's estate in Hertfordshire. A young widow after a loveless marriage, Anne-Marie and her stepmother Anna, together with Charlotte Collins, widow of the unctuous Mr. Collins, are the Ladies of Longbourn.

Eliza's Daughter

A Sequel to Jane Austen's
Sense and Sensibility

JOAN AIKEN

"Others may try, but nobody comes close to Aiken in writing sequels to Jane Austen."
--Publishers Weekly

A young woman longing for adventure and an artistic life...

Because she's an illegitimate child, Eliza is raised in the rural backwater with very little supervision. An intelligent, creative, and free-spirited heroine, unfettered by the strictures of her time, she makes friends with poets William Wordsworth and Samuel Coleridge, finds her way to London, and eventually travels the world, all the while seeking to solve the mystery of her parentage. With fierce determination and irrepressible spirits, Eliza carves out a life full of adventure and artistic endeavor.

"Aiken's story is rich with humor, and her language is compelling. Readers captivated with Elinor and Marianne Dashwood in
Sense and Sensibility
will thoroughly enjoy Aiken's crystal gazing, but so will those unacquainted with Austen."
--Booklist

"...innovative storyteller Aiken again pays tribute to Jane Austen in a cheerful spin-off of
Sense and Sensibility
."

Mansfield Park Revisited

A Jane Austen Entertainment

JOAN AIKEN

"A lovely read--and you don't have to have read
Mansfield Park
to enjoy it."
--Woman's Own

It's not so easy to keep scandal at bay...

After Fanny Price marries Edmund Bertram, they depart for the Caribbean, and Fanny's younger sister Susan moves to Mansfield Park as Lady Bertram's new companion. Surrounded by the familiar cast of characters from Jane Austen's original, and joined by a few charming new characters introduced by the author, Susan finds herself entangled in romance, surprise, scandal, and redemption.

Joan Aiken's diverting tale vividly imagines how the Crawfords might have turned out, and Jane Austen's moral tale takes new directions--with an unexpected and somewhat controversial ending.

"Her sense of time and place is impeccable."
--Publishers Weekly

" An excellent sequel...remarkably effective and very funny."
--Evening Standard
