Derbyshire: a sequel to Pride and Prejudice

As the wife of Mr Darcy, Elizabeth realises that some of the closeness that formerly existed between her and Jane is now present between man and wife. But there are some things she cannot confide even to her husband. Bound by a vow of silence, as well as unsure of her own reactions, Elizabeth is forced to judge the events she becomes a witness to alone. Who is the beautiful Miss Byron, whose presence awakens Darcy’s joy at the same time as he is unwilling to reveal his relationship to this lady? How tolerant is the social sphere that Elizabeth has married into towards a woman who falls in love with a man far below her station? How will the woman’s brother react if he fears that the man in question is another gold-digger with his eyes set on her fortune? What does one say to a friend who has entered into a marriage of convenience, when she suddenly experiences what the force of passion makes a human being capable of?
