<div>This witty sequel to Jane Austen's <i>Pride and Prejudice</i> follows the fate of Georgiana Darcy, Mr. Darcy's younger sister, who must choose between two suitors, a well-placed navy captain and a brash young architect. Masterfully adapted to Austen's original nineteenth-century style, <i>Presumption</i> brings back to life the book's most memorable characters, the Bennets, Darcys, Collins, and de Bourghs.<br><br>"An elegant emulation and continuation of <i>Pride and Prejudice.</i> . . . Jointly composed by two admirers of Jane Austen, the book often achieves crisp replication of her style. . . . <i>Presumption</i> shows how sequel-writing can, like parody, be a sharp exercise in literary appreciation."--Peter Kemp, <i>Times Literary Supplement</i><br><br>Julia Barrett is a pseudonym for Julia Braun Kessler and Gabrielle Donnelly. <br><br><br></div>
