We couldn’t wait to welcome Elizabeth Adams back for her third visit to the podcast, and trust us—she did not disappoint! This time, we dive deep into her epic reimagining Sons of Pemberley, a richly layered story that explores what might have happened if Lady Anne Darcy had survived. Spoiler: everything changes.

In this conversation, we cover everything from character arcs and alternate timelines to the surprising ways a book can take on a life of its own. Emilie and Elizabeth swap insights about Lady Anne’s transformation into the emotional center of the story, Lady Maryanne’s unexpected emergence as a featured character, and how friendship, adoption, and beauty are intricately woven throughout the narrative. There’s also a healthy dose of behind-the-scenes author talk—deleted scenes, writing during toddler nap times, and the pressures of crafting a dual-timeline novel with dozens of characters.

Whether you’ve read Sons of Pemberley once or five times, you’ll love this peek into the heart and mind behind the story. And if you haven’t read it yet… consider this your sign!
