About this ebook
Elizabeth wins Darcy, and Jane wins Bingley - 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 all the main characters. Pemberley tells of Elizabeth's failure to produce 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.

About the author
Emma Tennant was born in London. Throughout the 1950s-70s, she worked as a writer and editor for magazines such as Vogue, and published her first novel when she was twenty-six. A large number of books by Tennant followed: thrillers, children's books, fantasies, and several revisionist takes on classic novels, including Pemberley. In later years, she began to write about her own life in such books as Burnt Diaries (1999), which details her affair with Ted Hughes. A fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, she died in 2017.
