Book Synopsis

August 1794.

A coach travelling north up the A1 is carrying newlywed Lydia Wickham (née Bennett) to join her husband's regiment in Newcastle. What does her new life hold in store and what adventures and problems await? Will the social life be as lively as she hoped and who will she meet?

A sequel to Pride and Prejudice that follows the hoydenish, unconventional youngest Bennett girl Lydia, but here the fictional character moves among historical figures and all the public events she attends are documented. Read the letters Lydia wrote to her family (with additional notes by the editor') during her two-year stay and discover what living as an army wife in this eighteenth century town was really like.

Letters from Lydia is a fascinating sequel to Lydia's story and merges fiction with fact, perfect for Austen fans and readers who enjoy historical fiction.
