Synopsis

What awaited Elizabeth Bennet after her marriage to Mr. Darcy?

Becoming Mrs. Darcy: Elizabeth’s Chronicles, 1813 — Volume III

During the spring of 1813, Elizabeth Darcy prepares for one of the greatest changes in her new life. On 24 June, accompanied by Lady Morpeth, she is presented to Queen Charlotte at St James’s Palace and formally enters the highest circles of London society.

At the same time, Mr. Darcy begins to look beyond the management of Pemberley. His growing interest in diplomacy brings him to the notice of Lord Castlereagh, the Foreign Secretary, raising the possibility that service to his country may one day take him abroad.

In Hertfordshire, Jane Bingley happily awaits the birth of her first child, while Lydia Wickham gives birth to a healthy son. Yet scarcely has Lydia recovered when she flees Longbourn, determined to travel to Spain and join her husband with the army. Mr. Bennet pursues and overtakes her before she reaches London. On Elizabeth’s promise to become godmother to her son, Lydia agrees to return to Hertfordshire.

And so Elizabeth and Darcy are separated once more. Mr. Darcy continues towards Pemberley, while Elizabeth returns with her father and Lydia to Hertfordshire.

Set against the vivid backdrop of real events and notable historical figures, Elizabeth’s story unfolds with warmth, wit, and close fidelity to Austen’s spirit.

Volume III follows Elizabeth through the summer and autumn of 1813 and concludes on her twenty-second birthday, bringing the story of that remarkable year to a close. An essential timeline, together with historical essays and period references, is included in the Appendix to enrich the reader’s experience.

From Julia B. Grantham, author of Mr. Darcy’s Guide to Pemberley.

“Julia Grantham proved in this second volume again what a brilliant author she is. I had trouble putting the book down and I love losing myself in the wonderful, exciting world of Elizabeth Darcy.”
Brenda Defilet

“What a heartwarming and fascinating read! Julia B. Grantham has a wonderful way with words and expresses them with a light hand that completely fits the character of Elizabeth and pays tribute to the spirit Austen gave her. Highly recommend this superb series, continuing the chronicles of life after marriage for two of literature’s favourite characters. Can’t wait for the next instalment!”
Cass Grafton, Author

“I have just finished reading the second volume, and I’m enthralled. I loved it even more than the first, which I didn’t think was possible. ‘Becoming Mrs Darcy’ captures Jane Austen’s voice and those of her characters to perfection. It’s a delightful continuation of ‘Pride and Prejudice’: detailed, authentic, and beautifully written, with deep affection for our favourite couple. This novel is such a treat! I can’t wait for Volume III.”
Joana Starnes, Author

“These are one of the most delightful continuations of Pride & Prejudice I have read.”
Edwin Nealley
