In this Pride & Prejudice sequel Colonel Fitzwilliam realises it time to find a wife, a rich wife. But the ladies of the ton don't interest him, and they usually want more than a poor second son of an Earl. He visits his aunt, Lady Catherine, at Rosing Park, and there he meets his long forgotten cousin Prudence Bamber, daughter of a mill worker. Is it possible for anyone to have a happy ending or will the restrictions of society prevent these events.
An enjoyable and well-written story, with a delightful Colonel and other well-drawn characters. ( )
