Aston, Elizabeth
The Darcy Connection
In The Darcy Connection, Mr Collins of Pride and Prejudice is now the Bishop of Ripon, living with his wife, Charlotte, and their two daughters, who have reached marriageable age. The elder, another Charlotte, is extraordinarily beautiful, and her parents hope her looks and connections will ensure a brilliant marriage. Her sister, Eliza, while not as handsome, possesses a lively intelligence that, in Mr Collins’s opinion, is too like her godmother, Mrs Darcy. In London, Charlotte’s beauty wins her many admirers, but Eliza’s attempts to interfere infuriate her family - and Charlotte’s suitor.
