The Roman Spring of Mrs Bennet

Mr Bennet develops a severe congestion of the chest, which obliges him to spend the winter by the Mediterranean.

Accompanied by his daughter Jane and her husband, as well as his usual Medical team, and using the latest means of transport, they travel to Florence and then to Rome, where Mr Bennet makes a discovery which will, at last, make his name in academical circles, while Mrs Bennet enjoys the company of a young Roman count, and Margaret Morland (Margaret Dashwood as was) completes her masterpiece.

Read how this idyll is interrupted and what follows in this latest from the author of Pride Unprejudiced.
