It’s all here! ,Lady Catherine’s diary is open to you - and Miss Caroline Bingley’s - along with Mr Knightley’s heart.The fourth in McVeigh’s standalone series, Pride and Perjury fills in the gaps, in what Kirkus calls, 'McVeigh’s brilliant command of Austen’s diction and tone.'Buy your copy today, and fall in love with your favourite Austen characters, all over again!(Previous titles in this series have been shortlisted for the UK Selfies Book Awards at the London Book Fair, been joint runner-up for Foreword Indies’ 'Book of the Year' and been quarterfinalists for the BookLife Prize.)
