… P D James’s new book – Death Comes to Pemberley, which is due out on 3 November.
I don’t usually like sequels to books written by a different author, but I think I’ll have to make an exception for this one. It’s set six years after the events of Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen’s tale of romance and social advancement and sees Darcy and Elizabeth’s marriage thrown into disarray when Lydia Wickham arrives unannounced and declares her husband has been murdered.
For more information see this BBC page after P D James’s talk on Radio 4 the other day, although she declined to give any further details saying, “It’s rather secret at the moment, because it’s something entirely new.”

Margaret – I really hope you’ll enjoy this one, and I’ll look forward to your review of it.

I’m not sure I like this new fad of writing novels involving Jane Austen or her fictional characters, but if anyone could convince me to read one, it’s P.D. James. I admire her so much, and always love her books.

I don’t usually like sequels to famous books, but if it is PD James writing it…. It almost doesn’t seem like the type of book she would write?
