So was Pemberley all peace, calm and pleasure after Elizabeth
Bennet married the sternly handsome Fitzwilliam Darcy? The
delightful short story from which this book takes its title tells
us in faithful detail how Lizzy fared and how her faithful
sister-in-law Georgiana rose Venus-like as a woman with her own
will and talents - and made an excellent match into the bargain. In
'Trina', we visit Tsarist Russia and the Tolstoyan setting of St
Petersburg, where a headstrong young girl falls for a man who can
work on her mind - and her fondness for rubies. Against the
backdrop of an era closer to our own, 'Friends and Relations'
explores the impact of World War I and a friendly American giant on
the tidy lives of a group of middle-class Britons. A keen eye for
social differences, a wonderful sense of time and place, and
occasional elegiac notes set these stories apart, guaranteeing the
reader rich and continuing rewards.
