Follies and Foibles

What if Jane Austen never truly stopped writing?

In this delightfully irreverent collection of five short sequels to Pride and Prejudice, the beloved characters of Longbourn and Pemberley return-older, perhaps wiser, but no less entangled in matters of romance, reputation, and ridiculous relations.

Dictated (or so the author claims) in the wee hours by Miss Austen herself-now quite at ease in the afterlife-these tales continue the saga with sharp wit, unexpected twists, and just a touch of ghostly mischief. Mr Bennet acquires a monkey. Lady Catherine embarks on a civilising mission. Caroline Bingley attempts reinvention. Even Mr Wickham resurfaces, somehow managing to be both entertaining and appalling.

Whether you believe in spectral storytelling or not, this collection is a charming homage to Austen's world-one that invites laughter, raises eyebrows, and proves that some stories, like some characters, simply refuse to rest in peace.
