Product Description

Newlyweds Mr. and Mrs. Fitzwilliam Darcy begin their married life at Pemberley quite blissfully, but it is not long before the tranquility they seek is undermined by social enemies. The formidable Lady Catherine de Bourgh makes little attempt to hide disdain for her nephew's wife. She is joined by Caroline Bingley, as sharp tongued and resentful as ever, in the shared amusement of criticizing Elizabeth. However, the new mistress of Pemberley has more pressing matters on her mind — the fact that she is carrying the Darcy heir being the most pleasant of them. But concern mounts with the sudden return of Elizabeth's sister, Lydia. Alarming reports of seduction, blackmail and attempts to keep secret the news of another's confinement dampen even Elizabeth's notoriously high spirits. Darcy, soon faced with the most difficult decision of his life, will have to reveal his true character: Has his love for Elizabeth softened him or is his former aloofness about to be resurrected?
