Elizabeth Bennet, blissfully married to Mr. Darcy, arrives at Pemberley confident that she will manage her new home and husband with aplomb. Then her sister-in-law falls for the wrong man, Lady Catherine de Bourgh arrives unannounced and secret, passionate love letters apparently from Mr. Darcy to a mysterious Viola are discovered. Suddenly, she realizes that she truly knows very little about her proud and prejudiced husband.
Odiwe captures the essence of Austen, which means one must slow down and enjoy the complexity of the society, the details of the setting, and the pace of a story that unfolds more through its characters than its plot. Mr. Dary's Secret is perhaps one of the best "sequels" to Pride and Prejudice that I have read.
