Book Description

Elizabeth Bennet, an independent and outspoken young lady, married Fitzwilliam Darcy, one of the wealthiest men in the country. They returned from their wedding trip and settled into the life that awaited them at Pemberley. This work explores their relationship and how they lived and the relationships with those in their acquaintance. The ending of the Pride and Prejudice novel by Jane Austen left many unanswered questions regarding the lives of the individuals that were portrayed in the story.


The events in this book are the happenings of the life and loves of those people and follow the continuing lives of the Bennet sisters and the Darcys and the others of Pride and Prejudice. What of Catherine Bennet? Did she finally marry her red coat? Will Wickham receive the living at Kympton that he coveted and bring common sense to Lydia, or will she remain as insipid and licentious as ever? Or will Georgiana Darcy elope again with someone else, and will there be a need for a rescue? And what of Lady Catherine and Anne de Bourgh? Would she escape her mother’s tyranny?

Thomas Oliver was the fourth generation on a family farm. When he was still young, his father became a minister as farming was never his desire. The atmosphere in the home, as he grew up, promoted reading, intellectual and religious pursuits. He was influenced by his mother’s poetry, which she wrote all her life. He enjoyed reading, especially the classics including the Jane Austen works. He also enjoyed singing in choirs and quartets.
