Whispers of Pemberley is a trilogy where each book stands on its own as a romance novel, yet the stories are interconnected through direct or subtle nods to Jane Austen’s literature and characters.
The inaugural volume, Elizabeth and Darcy 1800, is a variation of Pride and Prejudice—a creative twist setting the foundation for the series. In this adaptation, Elizabeth Bennet embarks on a journey as a writer, a path illuminated and supported by her eventual spouse, Fitzwilliam Darcy, echoing the life and struggles of Jane Austen herself.
The subsequent volumes, while maintaining the iconic names of the main characters, Elizabeth and Darcy, explore the lives of individuals from the 1900s and 2000s, bound by a singular commonality—their admiration for Jane Austen’s oeuvre. In each story, an Elizabeth and a Darcy are brought together through an extraordinary twist of fate, celebrating the enduring life of Austen’s world across the centuries.

Elizabeth and Darcy 2000 is the third volume and the only new ‘entry’ in the Whispers of Pemberley Series. Its release coincides with the series’ debut.
Although Elizabeth and Darcy 2000 stands alone as a novel, its narrative gains depth and complexity when viewed as a seamless continuation of its predecessors.
While Elizabeth & Darcy 1800 follows Jane Austen’s destiny as a writer through Elizabeth Bennet’s perspective, and Elizabeth & Darcy 1900 celebrates the ladies around the world who, at the dawn of a new era, finally witnessed the changes in the world reflected in their lives, this third volume, Elizabeth & Darcy 2000, pays homage to the Darcys—men of generosity, integrity, and progressive ideals who willingly transform themselves, eager to spend a lifetime with the perpetually intrepid, sarcastic, witty, and wonderful Elizabeths.

The storyline draws inspiration from poignant lines spoken in the concluding moments of the preceding novels.

“What do you envision for women two centuries hence?” Fitzwilliam enquired.
“Do you think they will still read my books?” Elizabeth pondered.
“Undoubtedly,” he reassured her. “Your portrayals of human nature are timeless. Our essence, our emotions, our capacity to love or err will endure. And amidst it all, there will always exist Elizabeths and Darcys—a Miss Pride and a Mr Prejudice to relive our story.”
“You could be right...but in two centuries, I would like the lady to be the rightful mistress of Pemberley, and Darcy merely her devoted admirer.” (Elizabeth & Darcy 1800)

When the duke asked Elizabeth a few years later about the subject of another potential novel, she replied candidly, “It would revolve around you, my man, who allowed and encouraged me to be myself, and so much more.” (Elizabeth & Darcy 1900)

Elizabeth and Darcy 2000 is a captivating love story infused with suspense, humour, and passion.
Elizabeth Collister, heiress to a multimedia empire, finds her world upended by her father’s death. Along with the daunting task of managing her father’s vast company, she is thrust into a quest fuelled by his obsession—to find Darcy Egerton, the enigmatic author whose true identity has eluded everyone ever since his debut novel was rejected by their publishing house.
As Elizabeth navigates the complexities of her inheritance and grapples with her growing affection for a refined earl, her life spirals into a whirlwind of intrigue, passion, heartbreak, and familial machinations. Love threads through this tumultuous journey, ultimately leading Elizabeth to a destination where the unexpected converges with the inevitable, ending in the glorious love that Jane Austen once depicted.
