The Pemberley Chronicles (Pemberley Chronicles #1)

the long version

The weddings are over. The guests (including millions of readers) wish the two lucky couples health and happiness. As the music swells and the credits roll, only two things are certain: Elizabeth and Darcy are to be the happiest couple in the world, while Jane and Bingley will want for nothing! Rebecca Ann Collins follows them in imagination, observing and chronicling their passage through the landscape of nineteenth century England, noting how they cope with change, triumph and tragedy in their lives. Their personal stories--the usual concerns of love, marriage, money and children--are woven together with the threads of social and political history.
