Official synopsis Publisher
Twelve delicious short stories, the fourth volume in what Publishers Weekly described, last June, as “McVeigh’s celebrated Austenesque series”. Nine are Pride and Prejudice-inspired.
If you’ve ever wondered what really happened when Wickham eloped with Lydia – or considered what the Longbourn servants truly thought about the Bennet girls – or felt curious about how Mr Elton wooed Miss Augusta Hawkins in Bath… look no further. It’s all here!, Lady Catherine’s diary is open to you – and Miss Caroline Bingley’s – along with Mr Knightley’s heart.
The fourth in McVeigh’s standalone series, Pride and Perjury fills in the gaps, in what Kirkus calls, “McVeigh’s brilliant command of Austen’s diction and tone.”
