Description

'It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a married man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a son and heir.' Elizabeth wins Darcy, and Jane wins Bingham - but do they 'live happily ever after'? Emma Tennant's bestselling sequels to Pride and Prejudice ingeniously pick up several threads from Jane Austen's timeless novel, in a lighthearted and affectionate look at the possible subsequent lives of the main characters. Pemberley tells of Elizabeth's difficulty in producing a child; while An Unequal Marriage continues the story of the Bennets and their wider circle into the next generation. Sparkling, stylish and ironic, with imaginative insights into the emotions and mores of eighteenth-century English high society, these are elegant and diverting social comedies by a master of the genre.

EMMA TENNANT became a full-time novelist with the apocalyptic 'The Time of the Crack' (1973), later reprinted as 'The Crack'. More than twenty books followed, including thrillers, comic fantasies, books for children and a series of unconventional and revisionary 'sequels' to classic texts, such as 'Tess' (1993); 'Pemberley' and 'An Unequal Marriage' (1993-4), and 'Emma in Love' (1996). Tennant was the founding editor of the innovative periodical 'Bananas' (1975); she has worked as general editor of 'In Verse' (1982) and as general editor of the Viking series 'Lives of Modern Women' (1985). She was awarded an Honorary D.Litt. from the University of Aberdeen in 1996 and lives in London.
