The tale continues...

    Mr. Darcy's Daughters by Elizabeth Aston continues the story of Pride and Prejudice. It picks up twenty years after Pride and Prejudice ends, and follows Mr. Darcy's five daughters through the thrills and heartbreaks of being "out of the schoolroom."
    Three of the girls, Letitia, the oldest, Camilla the next and the youngest, Alethea, travel to London to stay with their cousin while their parents are away. They are soon joined by the twins, Georgina and Belle, who are much like their Aunt Lydia was in Pride and Prejudice. All the girls become the talk of the city because of heart break, engagements broken, and a lost beau who was thought to be dead, now married and in London.
    I was kind of disappointed with this book, as it mirrored the plot of Pride and Prejudice closely. I also was hoping for Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth to be involved with their daughters, not just a name mentioned. I feel this book could have been a number of things, but instead it was very similar to the original story, with a few plot twists here and there. I have to say though, Elizabeth Aston did a fairly good job using the same style and voice as Jane Austen. I would give this book a B- just because it seemed a little repetitive. Also, because the main problems in this book were simply trying to get the twins to behave properly, and all the women the girls met trying to marry them off. A lot of the book is spent learning about their every day lives.
