Brief Gaudy Hour: A Novel of Anne Boleyn11 reviews
Margaret Campbell Barnes

Sourcebooks Landmark, 2008

A classic work of historical fiction
"Brief Gaudy Hour" will always remain by far my favourite tale of Anne Boleyn. Indeed, there are some historical inaccuracies as it was first published in 1949 before the advent of several definitive Boleyn biographies, but the author has an engaging style and a keen eye for rich period detail. I first devoured this rather surprisingly sexy book over 30 years ago and I can still recite some of ... 		  
  







  
  
The Pemberley Chronicles: A Companion Volume to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice: Book 1 (The Pemberley ...9 reviews
Rebecca Collins

Sourcebooks Landmark, 2008

a lovely complimentary novel to Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice
Austen would surely give her smile of approval when reading The Pemberley Chronicles! The author, Rebecca Ann Collins, in no way tries to mimic Jane Austen's style to a pretentous degree - yet the novel flows perfectly, when it comes to characterization and setting. It is realistic in that it not only talks of love (as many over-the-top Austen sequels do, turning them into little more than trashy ...

Darcy & Elizabeth: Nights and Days at Pemberley (Pride & Prejudice Continues)83 reviews
Linda Berdoll

Sourcebooks Landmark, 2006

Great Continuation - Ended Somewhat Abrupt
I was always very leery of any "sequel" to P&P as I was concerned the characters, tone and story-lines would not do justice to the original. However, I found Linda's books very consistent with those characters. I loved Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife. I enjoyed this book as well and was left wanting more. My main concern was that towards the end, things were wrapped up rather quickly. Wickham's justice ...

An Infamous Army: A Novel of Wellington, Waterloo, Love and War21 reviews
Georgette Heyer

Sourcebooks Landmark, 2007

Brilliant account of the Battle of Waterloo
A wonderful and accurate account of the Battle of Waterloo and evoking brilliantly the atmosphere in Brussels before, during and after the event. Heyer reintroduces characters from Regency Buck and Devil's Cub in a very realistic romantic story. The charming brother of the Earl of Worth, Charles Audley, falls heavily for Lady Barbara Childe, spoilt and headstrong grand-daughter of the Duke of ... 		  
  







  
  
Mr. Darcy's Diary60 reviews
Amanda Grange

Sourcebooks Landmark, 2007

Fabulous, Simply Fabulous!!!
This book was just WONDERFUL! I could hardly put it down. I have read many of the post "Pride & Predjudice" and other Jane Austen-type novels that have followed my favorite author, and this book was the very BEST!!! "Mr. Darcy's Diary" kept to the proper tone of the times, as well as the style of the language of Jane Austen's novels. It was almost like reading Pride and Prejudice again from ... 		  
  







  
  
Emma & Knightley: Perfect Happiness in Highbury: A Sequel to Jane Austen's Emma4 reviews
Rachel Billington

Sourcebooks Landmark, 2008

Working Toward Happiness
When Emma and Knightley marry at the end of Jane Austen's Emma (Penguin Classics), Emma is a very young 21 or 22 years old. While she has been mistress of her father's house for a number of years, she has never had to balance her role as a daughter caring for her (hypochondriac) father with her new role as Mr. Knightley's wife. I for one always wondered how their relationship continued to develop ... 		  
  







  
  
Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife: Pride and Prejudice Continues458 reviews
Linda Berdoll

Sourcebooks Landmark, 2004

Lizzie Gets Laid
Good grief, I've not ever come across a book peppered with so much sex. Really, I read several of the more ripe paragraphs out loud to my husband and we howled with laughter. I zipped through this novel with one eyebrow raised in disbelief as it seemed almost a parody. The plot relies heavily on graphic details of Darcy and Lizzie's sex life, beyond that it's not a bad book, but it is a ...

Handling Sin71 reviews
Michael Malone

Sourcebooks Landmark, 2001

As the Hayes family would say, Gotchamalotcha!
A brilliant comedy, Handling Sin has, as a bonus, an underlying theme of self discovery. Raleigh's father beckons him on a multi state trek that forces Raleigh to reexamine his life, or maybe `wake-up' to his life. The journey is fraught with hilarity, as he is joined by a wild bunch of characters - his neighbor, his brother, an escaped convict, a pregnant girl, and others. These characters ... 		  
  







  
  
Old Friends and New Fancies: An Imaginary Sequel to the Novels of Jane Austen14 reviews
Sybil Brinton

Sourcebooks Landmark, 2007

Finally, an Austen sequel that gets it right.
In the last dozen years or so, a trend that I've noticed is the amazing revival of Jane Austen's novels into the mainstream of modern culture. Long considered the best of England's early novelists, Jane Austen had a short life (she died at the age of thirty-seven) but her six novels, detailing the courtship rituals of the gentry in the countryside and London, have been read and sighed over for ...

Pemberley by the Sea: A modern love story, Pride and Prejudice style26 reviews
Abigail Reynolds

Sourcebooks Landmark, 2008

Really enjoyed it!
Well done overall. "Trials of the Honorable Fitzwilliam F. Darcy" was a 5-star and better, but this one still very good. It got a little long at the end when Cassie kept chickening out. 		  
  







  
  
Letters from Pemberley: The First Year104 reviews
Jane Dawkins

Sourcebooks Landmark, 2007

Fabulous - Terrific - Must Read for Austen Fans
I believe there are a multitude of devoted fans who have read Jane Austen's PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, loved it, and wanted to see it continue. With this book, LETTERS FROM PEMBERLEY, author Jane Dawkins does an admirable job of what could be. She is not necessarily trying to write a sequel in Ms. Austen's style; as this would be impossible, but gives a believable look at Elizabeth's life through a ...

Michael Dobbs

Sourcebooks Landmark, 2008

Gritty Determination in the Face of Adversity
This is the third book in the Churchill series. The Battle of Britain has just about brought Britain to its knees and the bombing of major British cities has begun to an extent to demoralise the British people and further problems occur when Japan is set to begin attacks.

Dingley Falls5 reviews
Michael Malone

Sourcebooks Landmark, 2002

Excellent Read
This book compares favorably to The Shipping News and should have had more press. It is a delightful tale of a town through the eyes of the current generation and the woes of the previous one. The slimy and the sublime coexist in the small town that sits next to disaster and eats with it, drinks with it and revels in its lunacy. The watershed that feeds this lunacy could well be said to play a ... 		  
  







  
  
The Spanish Bride12 reviews
Georgette Heyer

Sourcebooks Landmark, 2008

Beat the drum for this fantastic regency
I've just taken to rereading Heyer's novels, and this one is definitely my favourite so far. Based on the true story of Harry and Juana Smith, this is romance without the gloss. No beautiful houses, fantastic scenery, balls, frills and furbelows. It's full of blood and guts, and if anyone ever doubted the existence of feisty heroines during the Regency period, then Juana definitely provides ... 		  
  







  
  
The Women of Pemberley: A Companion Volume to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice (The Pemberley Chronicles)5 reviews
Rebecca Collins

Sourcebooks Landmark, 2008

I hardly know what to write but I have even better news!
The saga continues. Our favorite characters return, but this time we see their world through mature eyes - the eyes of parents and grandparents. In Women of Pemberley, Rebecca Collins once again waves her magic wand over the heads of readers - sending them back to 19th century England, into the grimy streets of London; the coal mines and pottery factories of the North; the political morass whose ...
