Twelve Short Stories Inspired by Pride and Prejudice

 

NEW RELEASE! Amazon category bestseller in British Short Stories, British historical literature etc. 

Twelve deliciously witty short stories, the fourth in what Publishers Weekly described as “McVeigh’s celebrated Austenesque series”.

“I have very little hope,” said Mr Bennet, “of disposing of even one of my daughters much before luncheon.” (from McVeigh’s Pride and Perjury)

What really happened when Wickham eloped with Lydia? What did the Longbourn servants secretly think of the Bennet sisters? Take a deep dive into Caroline Bingley’s schemes, Lady Catherine’s de Bourgh’s diary – and Mr Knightley’s heart.

Download your copy, and fall in love with your favourite Austen characters all over again!

Previous books in this series have been shortlisted for the UK Selfies Book Awards, runner-up for Foreword Indies’ “Book of the Year,” and quarterfinalists in Publishers Weekly’s BookLife Prize. In April 2024, McVeigh’s Jane Austen series won Chanticleer International’s Book Series (historical).

“McVeigh’s prose and plotting are pitch-perfect – she echoes the master herself” – Publishers Weekly starred review “McVeigh displays a brilliant, spot-on command of Austen’s diction and tone” – Kirkus Reviews “It is difficult to remember that this work was not penned by Jane Austen herself.” (IndieReader editorial review)
