Opis

At 16, Lydia Bennet, married Mr Wickham. And not before time, everyone declared - for wicked Lydia had shared Wickham's bed without benefit of clergy. Some said she was born to be hanged. But - with a helping hand from the Duke of Wellington and royal friends - there was a more interesting fate in store for Lydia. Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy fought against the rip tides of pride and prejudice to achieve happiness. For Lydia, at 16 the youngest of the Bennet sisters, there was no so such struggle -driven by passion she dived most willingly into Mr Wickham's bed. And Wickham was just the first - in a tale that is somewhat beyond Jane Austen's original 'Pride and Prejudice'
