Presumbption book cover

 

 

The November freebie is Presumption: An Entertainment by Julia Barrett, a witty sequel to Jane Austen’s masterpiece. Presumption 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 Regency era style, Presumption brings back to life the world of Austen’s best novel.

 

 

“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.”—Peter Kemp, Times Literary Supplement
