Anne de Bourgh, the heiress of Rosings Park, is twenty-six and still unmarried. She worries about her future. Her mother, Lady Catherine, expects her to marry her cousin Fitzwilliam Darcy. Although Anne admires his character, she does not love him ? and she so hopes to marry for love. After Darcy marries Miss Elizabeth Bennet, Anne is thrown into London's marriage market, where she is prey to every scheming mother, including her own. A round of introductions to eligible men leaves her as confused as ever. How does one recognize a true heart when pleasing manners and a handsome countenance can hide an unworthy character? Anne must learn to ignore the persuasion of others to find her heart's desire.

At first glance, Anne de Bourgh doesn't seem a promising heroine. But beneath that quiet exterior, there's a lively mind at work, imagining how one day she will escape her poor health and her mother's domination to find love and a life worth living. Now Anne finally gets the chance to speak her mind. But Lady Catherine demands equal time. Even Charlotte Collins and Mrs. Jenkinson get into the act. Chapter by chapter, these ladies of Rosings Park take turns telling the tale from the moment Elizabeth Bennet sets foot in Hunsford, changing everything. Is Anne heartbroken or relieved to discover Mr. Darcy will never marry her? As an heiress, even a sickly one, she must have other suitors. Does Lady Catherine gracefully accept the defeat of her original plan or keep conniving? Will Anne's health ever improve? And what really happened to her father? Complete in itself, this work expands The Darcys of Pemberley series laterally, beginning during the timeline of Pride and Prejudice and carrying beyond to reveal the rest of Anne's story. When a young lady is to be a heroine... something must and will happen to throw a hero in her way. (Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey)

Her pleasant holiday is interrupted when the arrogant Mr. Darcy appears at nearby Rosings Park. During their frequent meetings, her spirited retorts do nothing to deter his attentions to her. In fact, they only seem to encourage him. Realizing Darcy is in love with her, Elizabeth is torn by an awful dilemma. With her father’s estate entailed on a male heir, she and her sisters face the prospect of poverty if they do not marry well. Darcy’s wealth could save them. But how can she marry a man she does not esteem simply for the material comfort he can offer?

"Ms. Collins has done it again!" - Beverly Wong, author of Pride & Prejudice Prudence

In fact, it is Mr. Darcy whose company provides an easy respite from the suffocating atmosphere of Rosings Park.

The Garden of Roses is a sweet, clean romance novella suitable for all lovers of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice.

In Jane Austen’s works, a name is never just a name. In fact, the names Austen gives her characters and places are as rich in subtle meaning as her prose itself. Wiltshire, for example, the home county of Catherine Morland in Northanger Abbey, is a clue that this heroine is not as stupid as she seems: according to legend, cunning Wiltshire residents caught hiding contraband in a pond capitalized on a reputation for ignorance by claiming they were digging up a “big cheese”—the moon’s reflection on the water’s surface. It worked. In Jane Austen’s Names, Margaret Doody offers a fascinating and comprehensive study of all the names of people and places—real and imaginary—in Austen’s fiction. Austen’s creative choice of names reveals not only her virtuosic talent for riddles and puns. Her names also pick up deep stories from English history, especially the various civil wars, and the blood-tinged differences that played out in the reign of Henry VIII, a period to which she often returns. Considering the major novels alongside unfinished works and juvenilia, Doody shows how Austen’s names signal class tensions as well as regional, ethnic, and religious differences. We gain a new understanding of Austen’s technique of creative anachronism, which plays with and against her skillfully deployed realism—in her books, the conflicts of the past swirl into the tensions of the present, transporting readers beyond the Regency. Full of insight and surprises for even the most devoted Janeite, Jane Austen’s Names will revolutionize how we read Austen’s fiction.
