The Pemberley Chronicles, book 2 : The Women of Pemberley
Rebecca Ann Collins2008

The Women of Pemberley follows the lives of five women, some from the beloved works of Jane Austen, some new from the author's imagination, into a new era of post industrial revolution England, at the start of the Victorian Age. Vast changes are in motion, as they were throughout this dynamic century.
The women, like many of Jane Austen's heroines, are strong, intelligent individuals, and the depth and variety of the original characters develop into a series of episodes linked together by their relationship to each other and to Pemberley, which is the heart of their community.
The central themes of love, friendship, marriage, and a sense of social obligation remain as do the great political and social issues of the age.
