Rendition As Books Mr. Darcy Presents His Bride: A Sequel to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice
IN PRIDE & PREJUDICE, JANE AUSTEN brought together one of the most beloved literary couples of all time—Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy. Now, Mr. Darcy Presents His Bride continues the story of these passion-filled newlyweds as they enter London’s glamorous high society.This page-turning novel finds Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy entangled in the frivolity and ferocity of social intrigues. Although Elizabeth makes a powerful friend in the Marchioness of Englebury, the rivalry and jealousy among her ladyship’s prestigious clique threatens to destroy the success of her new marriage.
Written in the style of Jane Austen, full of humor and sardonic wit, Mr. Darcy Presents His Bridebrings Regency society vividly to life and continues the romantic, sometimes tragic, stories of other popular Pride & Prejudice characters including Georgiana Darcy and Kitty Bennet.

I loved it and I hated it. Lol! A reviewer described it as "choppy vignettes", that is exactly how I'd describe it. There isnt really a flow but it does unfold the lives of the Darcy couple and their circle. It was beautiful at times, inferitating in others. I wish the author hadn't chosen to include their thoughts. I found myself having to reread sentences when I realized the perspective had changed and we were know in the 1st person. Other than that, I'm glad I read it and I would read itOh my goodness. Has Halstead ever done her Austen homework! The langugage, the characters, the events of the novel all unfolded so uncannily like Austen that I was mesmerized. This novel ruined all other P&P spoofs I've read since--none can compare. I loved this book. As a huge fan and student of Austen myself, I must recommend this book to all Austen fans.What I particularly liked was how we see the marriage unfold--slowly, just as their courtship did. Elizabeth is a huge success with the
a sequel to pride and prejudice finally! elizabeth and fitzwilliam are married and introduced into society. I was skeptical at first...."no one could do pride and prejudcie like jane austen!" but alas, it's almost as if Helen Halstead channeled her from beyond the grave. The writing style and the wit are so similar. If you love Pride and Prejudice i can almost guarantee that you will enjoy this book.
This story begins right at the end of Jane Austens story, with Elizabeth already engaged to be married to Mr Darcy, and preparations for the wedding to be set. Mr Darcy Presents His Bride is an interesting take into the story that happens after Elizabeth becomes Mrs. Darcy, their presentation into society, the effects on not only the Bennet household but on the Darcy household as well.Whats nice about the book is that it not only focuses on Fitzwiliam and Elizabeth Darcys lives, but also
A good version of an update to Pride and Prejudice. In someways I wanted it to have a bit more if a Austen feel to it. I dont think she quite captured the Bennet girls well.
3.5 rounded to 4.There was parts that felt boring and a couple times there were actions that seemed out of character to me. She was good in writing in Jane Austen's style.
I was surprised by this book. I've been reading more Jane Austen lately and wanted more, so I decided to try some sequels. Halstead follows Jane Austen's style fairly well. She added in comments from servants, which Austen never did. I liked that. I liked hearing their perspective at the beginning, but they suddenly turned mute after the first third of the book which was disappointing. Another thing Austen never included, but Halstead does, are conversations by married couples in their
