The perfect sequel to Pride and Prejudice, solving the problems that book creates and drawing in a whole cast of characters from other Austen novels. The Heir to Longbourn is the first in a trilogy, at the end of which almost all the unmarried characters from the other novels have been paired up with each other. It is, of course, humorously done, but with a pitch perfect ear for Jane Austen's style and an unmistakable sympathy for her outlook.
