A Virtue of Marriage: A Pride & Prejudice Novel Variation by Elizabeth Ann West

samhend101's review against another edition

3.0

I loved the first book, but I see that the story is really being drawn out. I don't serials, as long as each book is substantial, but this feels like a serial with each book being merely a novelette.

This Pride and Prejudice variation continues, with the Wickham's marriage going from bad to worse. The Bingleys return from their honeymoon to Netherfield, but Elizabeth is still staying with the Gardiners until she gets an invitation from Charlotte Lucas to visit. Can the plans of the Colonel and Darcy succeed.
An enjoyable re-read

To begin with this book is a continuation of A Consequence of Marriage, the first book in the Moralities of Marriage trilogy. All I can say about this book is what the hell? How can some people consciously choose to be evil? Mr Collins is evil, Lady Catherine is evil and so is George Wickham. Mr Collins enjoys being a woman beater obviously, Lady Catherine likes to make snap judgments about people that aren't true and Wickham likes to steal stuff and sell his wife off to his friends for money. I never could have realized that Collins and Wickham could be like that. I did enjoy that Richard and Darcy beat the crap out of Collins after he severely beat Lizzy for witnessing Richard marry Anne and disobeying his orders to not walk all about the countryside.

I do admit that I am looking forward to book three but I really didn't like Lizzy being beaten by her cousin and Wickham selling Georgiana to his friends for money sorta put me off. I just can't believe she went along with it. How Miss Darcy has fallen.
