This unique sequel offers an original story while also reversing that perspective so as to present Darcy's actions and his thoughts on their romance.

Set against the backdrop of the British abolitionist movement, this highly engaging novel presents Austenesque themes and societal intrigues as Elizabeth's superior perception and Darcy's humility are brought into question while both have their pride chastened by the other.
