Sinopsis

Twelve deliciously witty short stories, the fourth in what Publishers Weekly described as “McVeigh's celebrated Austenesque series”.


"I have very little hope," said Mr Bennet, "of disposing of even one of my daughters much before luncheon."
(from McVeigh's Pride and Perjury)


What really happened when Wickham eloped with Lydia? What did the Longbourn servants secretly think of the Bennet sisters? Take a deep dive into Caroline Bingley's schemes, Lady Catherine's de Bourgh's diary - and Mr Knightley’s heart.

Previous books in this series have been shortlisted for the UK Selfies Book Awards, runner-up for Foreword Indies’ “Book of the Year,” and quarterfinalists in Publishers Weekly’s BookLife Prize. In April 2024, McVeigh's Jane Austen series won Chanticleer International's Book Series (historical).
