The Darcys and the Bingleys by Marsha Altman

The Darcys and the Bingleys by Marsha Altman

A Tale of Two Gentlemen's Marriages to Two Most Devoted Sisters

Three days before their double wedding, Charles Bingley is desperate to have a word with his dear friend Fitzwilliam Darcy, seeking advice of a most delicate nature. Bingley is shocked when Darcy gives him a copy of an ancient, illustrated book of sensual secrets-but it does tell him everything he needs to know.
Eventually, of course, Jane finds this remarkable volume and in utmost secrecy shows it to her dear sister Elizabeth, who goes searching for a copy in the Pemberley library...

By turns hilarious and sweet, The Darcys & the Bingleys follows the two couples and the cast of characters surrounding them. Miss Caroline Bingley, it turns out, has such good reasons for being the way she is that the reader can't help but hold her in charity. Delightfully, she makes a most eligible match, and in spite of Darcy's abhorrence of being asked for advice, he and Bingley have a most enduring and adventure-prone friendship.

Marsha Altman often feels almost unhinged from the traditional cause-and-effect universe we inhabit, anchored only by her inherent humanity and the knowledge that if she left time and space, she probably couldn't publish any more books. She lives in New York but does not write about it much, which is probably a first. She has a BA in History (British) from Brown University and an MFA in Creative Writing from the City College of New York. This is her fifth book in this series, and sixth book total. She does not own any cats but would probably be a crazy cat lady if she owned some.
