"A Triumph. Hope-filled and life-affirming, it's a MUST-READ for any woman worried about life after 40." - THE SUNDAY POST MEMOIR NORA EPHRON SEX AND THE CITY BRIDGET JONES SINGLE MOM SINGLE PARENTING STEP-PARENTING BIOGRAPHY WOMEN OVER 40 ENTERTAINING MEMOIR WOMEN'S DATINGThe award-winning In Search of Mr Darcy: Lessons Learnt In The Pursuit of Happily Ever After is a hilarious Nora Ephron-style, unfiltered dating memoir. It follows a super-independent woman on a real-life Sex and The City-like adventure through four decades of relationships, amid life's messiest moments, as she searches for Mr Darcy. Yup, that elusive literary Prince Charming we have been all but promised. But hold up, life isn't a fairy tale...and it sure as heck isn't a Jane Austen novel. Writing with searing honesty, wry humor, and endless warmth Christina Ford dives headfirst into the colorful, intimate story of marriage(s), divorce(s), affairs, friends, frenemies, addiction, body image, sexual predators, and often thankless task of single-parenting and step-parenting, a job as potentially life-threatening as that of a Chilean coal miner. Filled with candid truths and valuable life lessons, like how day drinking won't solve your problems (but it was worth a shot) or...the surprising effectiveness of a perfectly timed one-night stand (which did prove to be more effective than years of therapy), this book isn't just about love and loss; it's a survival guide for anyone steering the treacherous waters of dating and adulthood.Whether you're navigating the dating scene, rebuilding after a breakup, or simply seeking reassurance that you are indeed "flawsome" - Ford invites readers to embrace the messy unpredictable journey of life, love and coming-of-age... middle-age. For anyone who has ever wondered if there is life after divorce, sex after forty, or if they will ever find love again. The answer is, damn straight Christina Ford is a writer and former award-winning TV and film executive. She channels her wit and experiences into writing her lifestyle blog, "A Broad in London: A Survival Guide for Life, Travel, and Being Sensationally Single."

'A delightful collection of Austen-inspired dishes' – Bee Wilson, Stella Magazine 'It's a great idea – a book that you can read as well as cook from, and one that, uniquely, sends you straight back to the novels themselves' – Telegraph Online 'In this charming bit of historical reconstruction, Pen Vogler takes authentic recipes from Austen's time and updates them for today. You'll find everything you need to recreate Netherfield Ball in your front room.' – Kathryn Hughes, The best books on food, The Guardian Enter Austen's world through the kitchens and dining rooms of her characters, and her own family. Food is an important theme in Austen's novels, used as a commodity for showing off, as a way of showing kindliness among neighbours, as part of the dynamics of family life, and – of course – for comic effect. Dinner with Mr Darcy takes authentic recipes from the period, inspired by the food that features in Austen's novels and letters, and adapts them for contemporary cooks. The text is interwoven throughout with quotes from the novels, and feature spreads cover some of the key themes of food and eating in Austen's time, including table arrangements, kitchens and gardens, changing mealtimes, and servants and service. Whether you are hoping to beguile a single gentleman in possession of a substantial fortune, or you just want to have your own version of the picnic on Box Hill in Emma, you will find fully updated recipes using easily available ingredients to help you recreate the dishes and dining experiences of Jane Austen’s characters and their contemporaries. First published in 2013, this is a new edition.

Becoming Lady Darcy

Becoming Lady Darcy

Sara Smallman

Independently Published

nidottu
As a direct descendant of Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet, Lady Elizabeth Darcy spent her childhood wandering the halls of Pemberley. Now a tourist attraction under the watchful eye of curator Joyce Hutchinson, every room contains reminders of the timeless love story as it seeps through the history of the great house.Lizzy has given up trying to find love, but things get tricky once Hollywood director, Matthew Wickham, the father of her daughter Harriet, returns to the Derbyshire estate to begin filming Jane Austen's classic novel, bringing with him a very famous, very aloof actor, who catches her eye. But Benn Williams has his own secrets, and Lizzy finds that history seems to be repeating itself, despite her attempts to resist it.Dipping into key events in history, 'Becoming Lady Darcy' combines a variety of techniques to tell the story, as we move throughout the timelines of five obstinate headstrong girls who called Pemberley home. Sophia, the Jacobean courtier, has a clever head and a smart mouth, but when the gaze of the King falls on her, she finds herself embroiled in courtly games and treasonous plotting.Elizabeth, with her fine eyes, begins her tenure as mistress with the devoted Fitzwilliam by her side, but happily-ever-afters don't always work out quite as we expect, and being Mrs Darcy proves trickier than she anticipated. Mabel, only daughter of Fitzwilliam and Elizabeth, finds that her privileged upbringing leaves her yearning for adventure and looking for escape in the arms of a handsome gentleman in a seaside town.Millicent, who lives lots of lives, must navigate the changing world at the turn of the twentieth century, and fight to save Pemberley from an uncertain future.And then there is Lizzy, who realises that in order to embrace her future, she has to accept her past and realise that sometimes life, and love, have to be experienced without pride and prejudice getting in the way.Smallman weaves the characters that we know and love into a bold, new reimagining, charting the ups and downs of the Darcy dynasty, from humble medieval origins to the present day. Not simply a continuation of Pride and Prejudice, this is an epic, sprawling story spanning generations. REVIEWS FOR 'BECOMING LADY DARCY''The concept is unique, the characters complex, flawed and vital. Smallman has created something special here.''...totally enthralled by the author's weaving of all the various characters and timelines. It has made for a highly entertaining read.'"The characters are so real, the backdrop so immersive... I didn't want it to end."'Oh my god...my heart is singing. What an absolutely gorgeous story '"This is the first time I have been truly sad that 'Pride and Prejudice' wasn't a real story...""Pemberley becomes so real...I found myself at home with Lizzy in her little flat, I wanted to believe that I could pay her a visit."'The characters...are flawed, deeply human and utterly lovable, and that is what makes the story so special.''This work is pure genius. It references JAFF, Austen's fans, the book, the 1995 movie, whilst simultaneously giving characters of the same a new life. I love how the story is filled with many of the women of Pemberley. The detail speaks to an intimate knowledge of behind the scenes in show business and of a historic estate. And the genealogy serves as a metaphor for how so many people intimately relate to this timeless piece.'

What happens to the happily ever after when the ever after has already happened? A 'spirited' courtship indeed Jane Austen's much adored Pride and Prejudice is transfigured in this Regency adaptation. That fickle friend Fate intervenes when an unexpected event threatens the happily ever after of literature's favorite love story. The gentlemen from Netherfield have left, winter is upon the land, and after a horrifying carriage accident, Elizabeth Bennet finds her spirit transported as if by magic into Mr. Darcy's London home. Paranormally tethered to the disagreeable man, it doesn't help that he believes she is a phantasm of his love-struck mind and not the real Elizabeth. Somehow they must learn to trust, learn to love and learn to bring Elizabeth back to her earthly form before it is too late.
