This episode we return to the world of Georgiana Darcy-inspired JAFF as Cat discusses Erin Edwards' first Young Adult Pride and Prejudice continuation: The Unruly Heart of Miss Darcy.

As well as getting excited about the emotional depth of this novel, Cat muses on Mariah Rigg's mentor's quote, "you write to the places you are not,"

and how recent blanket bans in English school libraries are stopping school children from exploring where they are in life.
With thanks to one of my listeners for recommending The Unruly Heart of Miss Darcy.

You were right, it was thoroughly excellent!

In this episode of Pemberley and Beyond, we dive into Lindz Mcleod's continuation of Pride and Prejudice: The Miseducation of Caroline Bingley .

Horrified by the marriage of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy, Caroline Bingley has always believed herself above everyone else. But when Darcy tells her she’s far too awful to ever be loved, Caroline is shaken to her core.

Determined to prove him wrong, Caroline begs her closest friend- or rather the closest person she has to a friend, Georgiana Darcy, to help her transform fast and find a husband as soon as possible! Little does she know that some major transformations are around the corner...

Join me as we unpack tropes in this steamy continuation of Pride and Prejudice which takes us into the mind of Caroline Bingley, one of Austen’s most unlikable characters.

With many thanks to Harlequin and NetGalley for my free eARC of this novel.

When I discovered that Rachel Parris (of Austentatious) had written a novel centred on the ever-practical Charlotte Collins, I couldn’t wait to read it.

This episode of Pemberley and Beyond dives into a delightful reimagining of that Austen fans won’t want to miss. Introducing Mrs Collins offers a fresh and entertaining perspective on one of Austen’s most infamously unromantic characters. Known for her sensible outlook, Charlotte’s carefully ordered life at Hunsford Parsonage is suddenly thrown into disarray when a charming and unexpected gentleman visits Rosings Park.

Join me as we unpack the three main tropes in this clever continuation of Pride and Prejudice and muse on the romantic potential of Mr Collins.
