Step into the world of Jane Austen with this delightful sequel to Pride and Prejudice. Set two years after Elizabeth and Darcy’s marriage, this charming holiday comedy invites you back to Pemberley for a festive gathering filled with wit, romance, and surprises.

 

At the heart of the story is Mary Bennet, the often-overlooked middle sister, who finds herself on a journey of self-discovery as she blossoms into her own heroine. When an unexpected guest arrives, Mary’s quiet Christmas turns into a whirlwind of intrigue, laughter, and maybe even love.

 

It's a joyful holiday celebration perfect for Austen-lovers and newcomers alike!
