Loving Mr. Darcy: Journeys Beyond Pemberley

This second installment to the tale is increasingly intense and detailed with the saga expanding in depth. We begin at Pemberley as Darcy, Lizzy, and Georgiana embark on a trip to Hertfordshire and then on to London. The first half of the novel covers the Season in Town where Lizzy is formally introduced as Mrs. Darcy. In between the opera, balls, reminiscences, and birthday celebrations, the Darcys are joined by many of the characters from the book including Lady Catherine de Bourgh, as well as a few new cast members. My personal favorite, Dr. George Darcy, arrives on the scene adding eccentricity and flamboyance. Summer is spent at Pemberley with a festival extravaganza before the Darcys journey through southern Derbyshire on an extended historical tour and shopping spree. It ends with a bit of a bang, but as always the lovers persevere and grow even closer. Through it all is the advancing of Lizzy’s pregnancy with their mutual joy and preparations for the Darcy firstborn.
