Wickham's Wife: A Back-Story to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice

All George Wickham has ever wanted, if he had the fortune he believes he ought to have, is to live the life of a gentleman with the woman he loves by his side, enjoying leisure, pleasure and prosperity together. Unfortunately, he has neither the means nor the talent to support such a lifestyle, and the independent lady he has fallen in love with is sensible. She knows and loves him for what he is, not what he pretends to be. Until he has some security of his own, she will never risk hers by marrying him.Step back inside the delightful world of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and accompany Wickham along the twists and turns of his life from Cambridge, through London and Ramsgate, to the seemingly insignificant detour into Meryton.
