Follies Past: A Prequel to Pride and Prejudice - Paperback

by Melanie Kerr (Author)

Before there was a single man in possession of a good fortune at Netherfield, there was a single man in want of a wife in London. His name was Wickham and he was bent on marrying himself into as much wealth as he might contrive, preferably to the detriment of the man who had destroyed all his prospects in life - the man known as Darcy of Pemberley. Follow young Georgiana to London, to Ramsgate and to the brink of a perilous elopement, for all the wit, the drama and the delights that the world of Pride and Prejudice has to offer.
Taking as its foundation Darcy and Wickham's own backstory, set out by Austen herself over 200 years ago in a letter from Darcy to Elizabeth, and bringing it to life with beloved familiar faces, and some entirely new, this is the book Austen fans have been waiting for!
