"An elegant emulation and continuation of Pride and Prejudice... shows how sequel-writing can, like parody, be a sharp exercise in literary appreciation." -- Times Literary Supplement

This witty sequel to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice follows the fate of Georgiana Darcy, Mr. Darcy's younger sister, who must choose between two suitors, a well-placed navy captain and a brash young architect. Masterfully adapted to Austen's original nineteenth-century style, Presumption brings back to life the book's most memorable characters, the Bennets, Darcys, Collins, and de Bourghs.

Julia Barrett is a pseudonym for Julia Braun Kessler and Gabrielle Donnelly.

"Elizabeth's intense embarrassment for her family, Darcy's latent heroism and the miscellaneous barbarisms of the Bennet and Darcy clans... are energetically and often quite delightfully handled, evoking the spirit of Pride and Prejudice." -- The New York Times Book Review

"Presumption's style... evokes Jane Austen's dry wit... [It] moves briskly along, highlighted by the unwitting comic genius of Georgiana's imperious aunt, Lady Catherine de Bourgh." -- Los Angeles Times Book Review

"A boon to anyone who has every yearned for one more in the Jane Austen canon." -- Cynthia Ozick, New York Times-bestselling author

"A witty, amusing sequel to Pride and Prejudice... For Austen lovers not affronted by the whole concept, a pleasant diversion. Otherwise, a stylish entertainment that may lead some to the unsurpassable Jane." -- Kirkus Reviews

"Barrett expertly captures Austen's ironic voice and subject matter in a book that is sure to delight and intrigue most Austen devotees. Highly recommended." -- Library Journal
