The Bennets' Fortune Books in Order

Years after saving a couple from drowning, Elizabeth Bennet inherits an estate from the husband. Her new responsibilities and friendship with his widow lead her to London, where renewed encounters with Darcy challenge their lingering misunderstandings.

After her parents die, eighteen-year-old Jane Bennet inherits Longbourn and raises her sisters while learning to manage the estate. Greater independence changes her response to Bingley, and a visit to London introduces a different romantic possibility.

An unexpected inheritance gives Kitty Bennet the means to protect her family, and she resolves never to surrender control through marriage. School brings friendship with Georgiana Darcy and encounters with a viscount equally wary of love.

Sent to keep her elderly aunt company in London, young Lydia Bennet gains guidance, independence, and a wider world. Over the years, new friendships bring her into the Darcy and Fitzwilliam families, where a difficult romance develops.

Married at sixteen to a much older man, Mary Bennet gains confidence through his patient guidance. Widowed a year later, she uses her inherited wealth to establish independence, support Elizabeth, and discover a different kind of love.
