The Exploits & Adventures of Miss Alethea Darcy
takes readers back into the imagined family of Elizabeth
Bennet and Mr. Darcy. Their musical daughter Alethea makes
a disastrous marriage to a man whose charming manners
conceal an unpleasant nature. Flinging caution to the
winds, she flees her marital home, masquerading as a
gentleman, and accompanied only by her redoubtable maid,
Figgins, she sets off for Venice to take refuge with her
sister Camilla. But events — always dramatic and sometimes
dangerous — conspire to thwart her plans. Before she can
meet up with Camilla, chance and her love of music lead
her into the world of Italian opera, while her encounter
with the aloof and difficult Titus Manningtree, in Italy
to pursue a lost Titian painting, is to change her life —
although fate has several more tricks to play before she
can find happiness.
