This witty sequel to Jane Austen's
Pride and Prejudice follows the fate of Georgiana Darcy, Mr. Darcy's younger sister, who must choose between two suitors, a well-placed navy captain and a brash young architect. Masterfully adapted to Austen's original nineteenth-century style,
Presumption brings back to life the book's most memorable characters, the Bennets, Darcys, Collins, and de Bourghs.
An elegant emulation and continuation of
Pride and Prejudice. . . . Jointly composed by two admirers of Jane Austen, the book often achieves crisp replication of her style. . . .
Presumption shows how sequel-writing can, like parody, be a sharp exercise in literary appreciation.--Peter Kemp,
Times Literary Supplement Julia Barrett is a pseudonym for Julia Braun Kessler and Gabrielle Donnelly.
