Conviction: a sequel to Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. Double Edge Press. 2006.
This satirical, original sequel to Jane Austen's timeless classic Pride and Prejudice reveals the romantic destiny of Georgiana Darcy. The story, however, does not rest on the laurels of Austen; an entirely new cast of characters is introduced, including an ambitious soldier, a wistful vicar, a flirtatious abolitionist, and an ordinary curate. The fates of these characters intertwine as each struggles to find the conviction to live out his or her own calling, while confronting issues of loyalty, courage, faith, and love.
“Conviction is a beautifully original and well-rounded sequel for our beloved Pride and Prejudice. I highly recommend it!” – Austensque Reviews
“Jacob Markwood could give Mr. Darcy a serious run for his money in the romantic lead department [...] This is a must read for any Jane Austen fan.” - Sara Mills of the Christian Fiction Review Newsletter
“...[T]his book is wonderful and…can stand alone as an excellent novel in and of itself. The characters are rich (and believable for the Regency period); the plot is delightful, and you'll find Georgiana Darcy to be a moving heroine. Even if you haven't read P&P, you can still enjoy (and love) Conviction.” - POD-DY Mouth
“Conviction straddles an obscure boundary between fan fiction, Regency drama and intertextual exploration [...] you may just find yourself enjoying the romantic romp that Burris has offered. I did.” - POD People
