    Darcy, and should not be considered a completely separate novel. The first third of the books are virtually identical, but after that the plots diverge substantially.

As a result, they do not marry in Derbyshire, and the action that follows is quite different. This book, like From Lambton to Longbourn, contains no graphic scenes.
