Description:

Several months after the wedding of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy thwarted her ambitions, Caroline Bingley is introduced to Mr Rushworth, a man with a noble estate and an even larger income. Despite his fortune and fine houses, however, Mr Rushworth turns out to be somewhat dull and under the influence of his mother, and he is divorced. A number of other new acquaintances and potential suitors come into Caroline's life in the year that follows, as she learns a few lessons about her own shortcomings and what is truly important in the life of a Regency lady. This novel, reflecting the times of Jane Austen as closely as possible, is a sequel to Pride and Prejudice and to Mansfield Park, and brings together many characters beloved and not so beloved in both novels.

At over 700 pages, this was an investment in time. But well worth it. I am typically not a Caroline fan, but Victoria CL did a fabulous job of portraying the Caroline Bingley we are all familiar with and showing her evolve into someone better. The growth of Mary Crawford's character was gratifying as well. The novel could have been shorter because the author seems to explain scenarious repeatedly (not uncommon when reading works originating from on-line sites) but quite forgiveable, since the story and characters are so well written. I enjoyed this immensely and would heartily recommend this purchase.
