MR. DARCY PRESENTS HIS BRIDE: A SEQUEL TO JANE AUSTEN'S PRIDE AND PREJUDICE: Helen Halstead: Ulysseys Press: Fiction: 310 pgs.This book picks up just before Elizabeth's marriage to Mr. Darcy, and continues with her introduction to London's high society. This book not only continues Elizabeth's story, but also the stories of others in her circle like Kitty Bennett and Georgiana Darcy.
Halstead does an admirable job of using Austen-like language, which contributes a lot to the authentic feel of this book. I also enjoyed reading from the perspective of the other characters, which gives you an interesting glimpse of how they end up. Of course, it has to stand in the shadow of Austen, so it's not perfect. But if you're a P&P fan, you will enjoy this sequel.
