Book Description:
When Elizabeth Bennet first met Mr. Darcy, she found him proud, distant, and rude—despite the other ladies' admiration of his estate in Derbyshire and ten thousand pounds a year. But what was Mr. Darcy thinking?

Jane Austen's classic Pride and Prejudice has long stood among the most beloved novels of all time. The story of Elizabeth Bennet's blossoming romance with "haughty, reserved, and fastidious" Fitzwilliam Darcy has enchanted readers for nearly two centuries. Yet, Mr. Darcy has always remained an intriguing enigma—his thoughts, feelings, and motivations hidden behind a cold, impenetrable exterior . . . until now.

With the utmost respect for Austen's original masterwork, author Janet Aylmer loving retells Pride and Prejudice from a bold new perspective: seeing events as they transpire through the eyes of Darcy himself. One of world's great love stories takes on breathtaking new life, and one of fiction's greatest romantic heroes becomes even more sympathetic, compelling, attractive, and accessible, all through the imagination and artistry of a truly gifted storyteller.


Going to catsalive as a result of a Yankee Book Swap.

Thanks, morsie. I love the cards.

I've always avoided P & P sequels where possible. Each time I've tried one I've been disappointed in the results. Darcy's Story is no exception, although I can see that Aylmer made a big effort, it wasn't good enough. Darcy's story was boring, the language didn't sit right (it kept popping from 19th to 21st century - lots of long words does not an historical tale make), & his reactions didn't seem to fit the time - I certainly can't see him confiding in a 15-year-old sister then or now. It was an interesting exercise but not sufficiently well-executed.
