Pride & Prejudice Variations

The Books

Six novels so far. Three stand alone, and three tell one story.

By Patience and by Paper

One story in three volumes. A lie told in a London parlour takes eighteen years, two continents and an entire family to set down again.

Caroline Bingley tells it. Charles Bingley believes it, puts down everything he was given, cuts the rope and sails for Calcutta. Fitzwilliam Darcy proposes at Hunsford, is refused, and decides against writing the letter that would explain him. Elizabeth does not forgive him a syllable of it, and marries him anyway.

One continuous story, told across three decades and half the world. Comedy-forward, dialogue-driven, and not afraid of the deep water.

  1. Volume I

    By Fable and by Fact

    The lie, the silence, and one season in which four families learn what their decisions have cost.

    Amazon
  2. Volume II

    By Trade and by Trust

    A brother crosses an ocean rather than a county. A sister is given precisely what she asked for.

    By Harbour and by Hearth

    A drawer of letters nobody opens, and a ship named for the colour of somebody's eyes.

Begin with Volume I. The rest will follow of its own accord.
