Meryton Vignettes

In this collection of six short stories, the people of Pride and Prejudice move on, grow up, and explore paths not taken. Time leads these beloved characters down roads of self-discovery, courage, and heartbreak. And sometimes the journey takes them to surprising places. What becomes of Longbourn when the Collins family inherits? How does Charlotte manage both her husband and an estate? How can she truly become the mistress of Longbourn while living in Mrs. Bennet’s shadow? Caroline Bingley learns there’s more to life than chasing after Darcy. Can she find true affection? How will she live down the humiliation of being passed over? Sometimes childhood experiences inform adult observations. Unfortunately for Mr. Darcy, Elizabeth’s recollections are not in his favor. Mrs. Bennet makes a shocking discovery and her family must deal with the consequences. Elizabeth navigates a situation she never thought she would find herself in, and in so doing, she learns more than she bargained for. Disturbingly more. A jaded and mature Lydia finally grows up, but is the price she pays worth the wisdom she gains?
