The Exploits and Adventures of Miss Alethea Darcy by Elizabeth Aston
March 28th, 2008 by Laura Moncur in LiteratureThe Exploits and Adventures of Miss Alethea Darcy is the second book in the Darcy series by Elizabeth Aston.
In this book, Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy’s daughter, Alethea, has found herself in an abusive marriage. Isolated in the grand estate of Mr. Napier, Alethea’s only choice is to run away. With some jewelry hidden from her husband, she has barely enough funds to get to the continent with her maid, Figgins. Unfortunately, her family resemblance to the Darcy clan is difficult to mask, even though she is disguised as a male youth. Can she get to her sister, Camilla, before her reputation is sullied beyond repair?
I found plenty of good quotes in this book.
You don’t need to read the first book, Mr. Darcy’s Daughters, in order to understand the story, but it does make it a little more enjoyable.
