"Trust and Triumph" continues the story of the Darcys, Bennets and Bingleys of "Pride and Prejudice" fame. With this sequel, the lives of Jane Austen's characters explode into adventures and fun as they honeymoon, confront the Ghost of Pemberley Manor, search for suitable suitors for Georgianna Darcy and Kitty Bennet and endure the company of pesty and nutty new in-laws. Georgianna's complicated romance with a country doctor embellishes the novel with it's touching though thoroughly confused passion, while Kitty and Anne de Bourgh find the loves of their lives and show their inate spunk as they plunge directly into courtship. In this glorious era of matchmaking, the young ladies and the their families either meander through their luxurious lives or chase feverishly after excitement. A thwarted kidnap brings in the seven foot Detective Strand who uses crime scene subterfuge to entice the Darcys' cook and establish her in his mansion and during a voyage to Savannah, Georgia, with a coterie of friends that includes former vaudevillians and a besotted prince, they save and tame a pirate crew. This is a spirited bunch of people, stirring up mischief in their new roles and goals, usually earning success and always providing humor and entertainment.

This book is a joke!,
By
This review is from: The Sequel to Jane Austen's ''Pride and Prejudice'': ''Trust and Triumph'' (Hardcover)
The author has never read Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. But, she felt compelled to write a sequel. The book starts by reviewing past events that are in Austen's original novel. The problem is the author has no idea really what happens in Pride and Prejudice. It was like she heard the book through a friend who had quickly scanned through it. I admit that this book was good for a laugh at how stupid this woman is but other than that it's worthless! Any of the other sequels are better than this trash!

Don't wast your money,
By Lynne Robson "Lynne" (Dronfield, Derbyshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Sequel to Jane Austen's ''Pride and Prejudice'': ''Trust and Triumph'' (Hardcover)
The writer has placed this book in 3 different era's Dog shows in England did not appear until the late 1880's we had cattle shows to sell of sheep cows goats etc.
1.I cannot see Mr Darcy allowing his sisters Georgiana and Kitty go anywhere unchaperoned. 2.If there had been dog show most of the shows around were men and men only and so would not have been ideal for a gently bred girl I couldn't see Mr Darcy allowing them to go either. 3.I also couldn't see Georgiana going swimming in a pond with Kitty only in her undergarments. 4.Another thing I couldn't see either was Mrs Reynolds telling Georgiana that her brother and his new wife were in bed trying for a baby all day and would see her at dinner time if they decide to get up. 5.I could not see Lady Catherine allowing her daughter Anne to marry the son of a Blacksmith even though he trained to be an accountant. She has both Kitty and Georgiana kidnapped by Gypsies but then returned because Mr Darcy gets the best detective on the job a Mr Strand who falls in love with Mrs Reynolds and trys to persuade her to leave the Darcy's and marry him but she isn't interested in him and diverts his attentions to Tily one of the maids. The Doctor who Georgiana falls in love with after being bitten badly at a dog show is very off hand with her and does not like her cause she is a poor little rich girl but also falls in love with her sending her flowers which she burns confusing isn't it. Kitty falls in love with a Prince and eventually marries him. Towards the end of the book the go to Savannah to see Mr Darcy's partner over there and his plantation. While travelling Lizzy finds out she is pregnant and ends up spending the whole journey in bed again with Darcy of course. All in all I found it to be a crazy mixed up read, which was very confusing in places.

Not worth the price,
This review is from: The Sequel to Jane Austen's ''Pride and Prejudice'': ''Trust and Triumph'' (Hardcover)
I gave this book 1 star only because it had something to do with Jane Austen. I was very disappointed in the entire book, though and would definitely not buy it again. From the author changing Darcy's name to the bizarre plot line to the jump around the centuries, it is a disappointment. Please only buy this book if you want to collect every continuation of Pride and Prejudice that is written. Otherwise, you are wasting time and money.
