My daughter brought this book over to me as part of our COVID exchange. Realized she had forgotten to register it so she brought over her prenumbered sticky and put it in. Didn't realize she hadn't finished registering it.
Witty, romantic and insightful, Darcy’s Passions captures the original style and sardonic humor of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice while turning the entire story on its head. Written from the perspective of Fitzwilliam Darcy, this novel tells his version of an improbable, even obsessive relationship with a most impossible woman—Elizabeth Bennet.
This novel reveals Darcy’s passion and conviction but also his turmoil. Darcy knows that duty to family and estate demands he choose a woman of refined tastes. Yet, what his mind tells him to do and what his heart knows to be true tear him in opposite directions. He loves a woman he first denies for being unworthy, but it is he who is found wanting when Elizabeth Bennet refuses his proposal of marriage. Devastated, Darcy must search his soul and transform himself into the man she can love and respect.

This was a fun read. I am thinking maybe I will listen to the original Pride & Prejudice (or watch the movie to be reminded how the original story went. There were a few too many "My loves" for me.
This book is going into the COVID Meeting Box that is being circulated.
This book is being released into Book Box 1. We may not be able to meet in person but our books can still unite us.
Looking for a lighter and read and this just might fit the bill!
I am returning this to book box 2. I thought I might enjoy it but I am not into pride and prejudice so sending on.
I am dismantling Book Box 2 as we are back to in person meetings. Books will be sorted and bagged up for either a person who requested it or to the person who introduced it to the group. Please help me out if you can by making arrangements to collect your books. I have enough of my own books to deal with so please wild release or give away your own books as I don't have the capacity right now.
