"A spirited addition... With inventive creativity, compact world-building and a smooth flow, these twelve enchanting stories add new facets to Austen’s beloved landscapes.”
Foreword Clarion Reviews Rated 5/5.

“Absorbing, delightful, technically flawless and loyally Austenian, PRIDE AND PERJURY boasts inspired interpretations of minor characters and off-page events – some of which Austen only hinted at.”
INDIEREADER editorial review. Rated 4.9/5

"Freshly imagined - could have come straight from Austen's pen. McVeigh spins a marvellous illusion, uniquely echoing Austen's own spirit of wit."
SPR, editorial review. Rated 4.7/5

“Alice McVeigh’s narrative is perfectly pitched, capturing Austen’s authorial voice without ever descending into pastiche. Employing that coolly ironic gaze, she describes events ‘omitted’ from Pride and Prejudice with remarkable conviction.” Jane Austen’s Regency World, editorial review
