La suite d'une histoire d'amour qui passionna des générations entières. En refermant le livre ou quand se termine le film Orgueil et Préjugés on se demande : Et après ? Jane Austen laissa en germe mille conflits, mille aventures dans une Angleterre en pleine mutation et dans un monde où les distances s'amenuisent au fil des années. Tout en respectant les personnages magistralement décrits par la grande dame de la littérature anglaise et même si vous n'avez pas lu son livre, l'auteur vous emmènera à Pemberley, la merveilleuse maison des Darcy où naquit une histoire d'amour qui passionna des générations. Vous verrez comment les difficultés mal enfouies se surmontent ou non, et comment les membres des générations futures seront tantôt acteurs de cette nouvelle ère qui s'ouvre à eux, tantôt victimes d'une société qui voit menacer son mode de vie ancestral. Découvrez sans plus attendre une suite du classique de la littérature anglaise Orgueil et Préjugés, imaginée par Marie-Laure Sébire ! EXTRAIT "Un soir, alors qu'ils lisaient au coin du feu, Elizabeth dit à son mari : — Mon chéri, tes appartements vont bientôt être le champ de bataille d'une armée d'artisans. Si tu désires profiter de la paix de ton foyer, il est grand temps de repartir pour Pemberley. Nous avons profité à mon avis suffisamment des plaisirs de Londres. Tu as eu la bonté de m'emmener au théâtre, de nous faire assister à quelques dîners et j'ai eu de longues conversations agréables et futiles avec les épouses de tes amis londoniens qui ont eu la grandeur d’âme de me proposer de te ruiner chez les meilleurs modistes de Londres. N’aie crainte, j'ai vaillamment résisté. J'ai donc amplement mérité des promenades dans nos bois couverts de givre. Nous pourrions profiter de notre séjour là-bas pour que madame Reynolds se mette en quête d'une femme de chambre conforme à mes désirs. Celle que tu m’as attribuée a une ombre de moustache et je la soupçonne d'être l'aînée d'une famille de garçons dans laquelle elle a acquis une autorité redoutable et une poigne non moins redoutable. Je préfère laisser le soin de ma coiffure à une jeune fille de Lambton, douce et si possible point trop jolie. Bon, cette dernière recommandation me vient d'une de tes amies londoniennes qui méconnaît ton vertueux caractère. Darcy éclata de rire et prit sa femme dans ses bras : — Connais-tu, une seule femme belle, intelligente et en plus capable d'amuser un monsieur aussi grave que moi, à part toi ?" CE QU'EN PENSE LA CRITIQUE "Chroniques de Pemberley est une suite d'Orgueil et préjugés élégante et plausible qui rend un brillant hommage à Jane Austen et je vous y invite sans modération !" - StéphanieMarcos, Babelio "J'ai adoré vivre à Pemberley pendant de longues années grâce à Marie-Laure Sébire, m'attacher aux Darcy, souffrir (oh mon dieu le chapitre 20...) et rire avec eux et sentir tout l'amour qui habite cette famille et ce lieu vraiment merveilleux." - zofiamiu, Babelio "J'ai ri, j'ai pleuré, j'ai détesté, j'ai aimé... tout cela au fil des pages, avec les personnages, ne voulant pas voir venir les dernières pages. Je le conseille grandement, à tou(te)s les admirateurs de cette merveilleuse histoire." - Kilou19, Booknode À PROPOS DE L'AUTEURE Rien ne prédisposait Marie-Laure Sébire, parisienne et juriste, à la littérature inspirée par celle du XIXème siècle anglais. Pourtant fille et sœur d'écrivains elle a, à l'intention d'une amie fan d'Orgueil et Préjugés, écrit une suite plausible et respectueuse du roman de Jane Austen, celle qu'elle aurait voulu lire. Ses livres sont d'abord publiés en Espagne où, marié à un espagnol, elle passe la moitié de l'année á Grenade.

The newlywed Elizabeth Bennet knows little of the ways of married life. She's seen only the bickering nonsense of her parents, or the boring world of her dear friend, Charlotte, and her husband, Mr. Collins. Yet, when Fitzwilliam takes her to his bed, Elizabeth soon realizes her beloved Mr. Darcy is not entirely the gentleman she believed. He knows how to please her, taking her to new and unimagined heights. As her days descend into constant lusting for her husband's touch, she soon discovers new desires she'd never imagined, exploring every tawdry whim with her willing and wild husband. From Lady Carrington's decadent Springtime Ball, to the secret clubs of London's Aristocracy, follow this sordid erotic tale of Elizabeth's journey of discovery and passion, and see just why they call her The Mistress of Pemberley.

Equal parts Sherlock Holmes and P.G. Wodehouse, Charles Finch's debut mystery A Beautiful Blue Death introduces a wonderfully appealing gentleman detective in Victorian London who investigates crime as a diversion from his life of leisure. Charles Lenox, Victorian gentleman and armchair explorer, likes nothing more than to relax in his private study with a cup of tea, a roaring fire and a good book. But when his lifelong friend Lady Jane asks for his help, Lenox cannot resist the chance to unravel a mystery. Prudence Smith, one of Jane's former servants, is dead of an apparent suicide. But Lenox suspects something far more sinister: murder, by a rare and deadly poison. The grand house where the girl worked is full of suspects, and though Prue had dabbled with the hearts of more than a few men, Lenox is baffled by the motive for the girl's death. When another body turns up during the London season's most fashionable ball, Lenox must untangle a web of loyalties and animosities. Was it jealousy that killed Prudence Smith? Or was it something else entirely? And can Lenox find the answer before the killer strikes again—this time, disturbingly close to home?

On an Aegean island one summer, an English traveller meets an enigmatic elderly Frenchwoman. He is captivated by a painting she owns of a busy Caribbean port overlooked by a volcano, and, in time, she shares the story of her youth there in the early twentieth century. Set in the tropical luxury of the island of Saint-Jacques, hers is a tale of romantic intrigue and decadence amongst the descendents of slaves and a fading French aristocracy. But on the night of the annual Mardi Gras ball, catastrophe overwhelms the island and the world she knew came to an abrupt and haunting end. The Violins of Saint-Jacques captures the unforeseen drama of forces beyond human control. Originally published in 1953, it was immediately hailed as a rare and exotic sweep of colour across the drab monochrome of the post-war years, and it has lost nothing of its original flavour.

In Danger at the Cove, the second book in a delightful cozy series by Hannah Dennison a surprise visitor makes an appearance on the island—and murder ensues. Renovations on Tregarrick Rock Hotel are coming along, and Evie Mead thinks they just might be done by opening day. Then one of her sister Margot’s old Hollywood friends, Louise, arrives unannounced—and expecting VIP treatment. Evie has half a mind to tell Louise to find other accommodations, but Margot pleads with Evie, saying that Louise—despite her upbeat and demanding attitude—is grieving her recently deceased husband. Evie pities her, and besides, the sisters need help. A simple rewiring project has resulted in a major overhaul of the hotel, and they’re way over budget. The small life insurance policy left to Evie by her own husband is gone, and they are desperate for funds. Margot believes that Louise, a marketing guru, can put the hotel on the map and give it the boost it needs. But when a member of the hotel staff is found dead, and then another murder follows, the sisters’ plans crumble before their eyes. Who would do such a thing—and why? In a rollicking adventure involving a shipwreck filled with buried treasure, a dashing and mysterious Australian named Randy, and old rivalries stretching back to far before Evie and Margot ever set foot on the island, it’s all hands on deck to find the killer—and save the hotel.

A treat for fans of Masterpiece Mystery and Downton Abbey, Colleen Cambridge’s charming and inventive new historical series introduces an unforgettable heroine in Phyllida Bright, fictional housekeeper for none other than famed mystery novelist Agatha Christie. Hijinks—and murder—ensue. Tucked away among Devon’s rolling green hills, Mallowan Hall combines the best of English tradition with the modern conveniences of 1930. Housekeeper Phyllida Bright manages the large household with an iron fist in her very elegant glove. In one respect, however, Mallowan Hall stands far apart from other picturesque country houses. For the manor is home to archaeologist Max Mallowan and his famous wife—Agatha Christie . . . Phyllida is both loyal to and protective of the crime writer, who is as much friend as employer. An aficionado of detective fiction, Phyllida has yet to find a gentleman in real life half as fascinating as Mrs. Agatha’s Belgian hero, Hercule Poirot. But though accustomed to murder and its methods as frequent topics of conversation, Phyllida is unprepared for the sight of a very real, very dead body on the library floor . . . It soon becomes clear that the victim arrived at Mallowan Hall under false pretenses during a weekend party. And when another dead body is discovered—this time, one of her housemaids—Phyllida decides to follow in M. Poirot’s footsteps to determine which of the Mallowans’ guests is the killer. Now only Phyllida’s wits will prevent her own story from coming to an abrupt end . . .

In contemporary philosophy, substantive moral theories are typically classified as either consequentialist or deontological. Standard consequentialist theories insist, roughly, that agents must always act so as to produce the best available outcomes overall. Standard deontological theories, by contrast, maintain that there are some circumstances where one is permitted but not required to produce the best overall results, and still other circumstances in which one is positively forbidden to do so. Classical utilitarianism is the most familiar consequentialist view, but it is widely regarded as an inadequate account of morality. Although Professor Scheffler agrees with this assessment, he also believes that consequentialism seems initially plausible, and that there is a persistent air of paradox surrounding typical deontological views. In this book, therefore, he undertakes to reconsider the rejection of consequentialism. He argues that it is possible to provide a rationale for the view that agents need not always produce the best possible overall outcomes, and this motivates one departure from consequentialism; but he shows that it is surprisingly difficult to provide a satisfactory rationale for the view that there are times when agents must not produce the best possible overall outcomes. He goes on to argue for a hitherto neglected type of moral conception, according to which agents are always permitted, but not always required, to produce the best outcomes.

The first in the series featuring a madcap pair of amateur sleuths and a delightful outpouring of upper-class English eccentricities - with the odd murder thrown in! Praise for Andrea Frazer's twisty and compelling crime novels: ***** 'Brilliant book, look forward to reading the others in the series. A great story, loved reading it...' Reader Review ***** 'A very nicely written 'tongue in cheek' story with the most unlikely hero and heroine as aged super sleuths... Very enjoyable read' Reader Review ***** 'Loved this story... Look forward to others in the series' Reader Review ***** 'Loved this book... The characters were absolutely brilliant... Well done Andrea Frazer. Highly recommended' Reader Review ***** ' ...I LOVED it... I have read all Andrea Frazer's books and cannot wait for the next one... Buy all Andrea's books - such fun, you won't be disappointed' Reader Review _________ Lady Amanda Golightly of Belchester Towers is a person in complete contrast to the stereotypical image of one of her breeding. She is short, portly, and embarrassingly forthright. If she wasn't calling a spade a shovel, it was only because she was calling it 'trumps'! On a visit to a local nursing home where an old business partner of her father's is residing, she unexpectedly discovers a long-lost friend, Hugo Cholmondley-Crichton-Crump - and stumbles upon murder as well. Installing Hugo in the more civilised and comfortable surroundings of Belchester Towers, the pair turn to sleuthing after Lady Amanda reports her appalling discovery to the local police inspector and is incensed when he treats her as a silly old biddy with an over-active imagination. Her outrage prompts her to teach the impertinent young whipper-snapper a lesson, and she and Hugo (Zimmer frame in tow) embark upon their first investigation, only for murder to become a distressingly frequent occurrence...
