To read
this book is to step back into the charming world of
Jane Austen’s England, to pass a few more hours with some of her beloved
characters, sympathetically portrayed as they might have been before ever they
came to Netherfield.
In Pride and Prejudice, everything hinges
on a letter which Mr. Darcy gives Elizabeth - a letter setting forth all his
dealings with Mr. Wickham. These facts, supplied by Austen herself, are at the
heart ofFollies Past. The drama begins almost a year before the opening
of Pride and Prejudice itself, at Pemberley, at Christmas. We follow
young Georgiana Darcy to London, to Ramsgate and to the brink of a perilous
elopement. Along the way, readers will discover a host of new characters, with
compelling histories of their own.Authentic in its use of language andmeticulously
researched, Follies Past is a truly diverting entertainment.
