Mr Darcys Diary by Amanda Grange
Pride and Prejudice: It's Darcys Turn to Tell His Side Of The Story...
Well, this book delivers exactly what it offers, a look at Pride and Prejudice faithfully from cover to cover and a little beyond from the point of view of Fitzwilliam Darcy.
It does not go for any sensationalism, it sticks with the original story line, starting with Georgina and Wickham’s attempted elopement to give a bit of sympathy for Darcy as a loving brother before we have his terrible behavior and haughtiness at Netherfield.
A lot of the books I have read have Darcy almost having an epiphany after Elizabeth refuses to marry him. In this one Amanda Grange has him realizing by degree, slowly but surely what a pride full and rude proposal he had made, with it taking a while for him to get over his anger, much more true to life I think.
All the characters are well drawn, Bingley is spot on and Caroline is also, so desperate to get a proposal from Darcey.
She does not see that her cutting comments and down right bitchiness are not endearing her to Darcy at all.
I have already reviewed Amanda Grange book Mr Darcy Vampyre and I shall look forwards to reading more of her work.
She has also written diaries from Captain Wentworth, Edmund Bertram, Mr Knightly and Colonel Brandon.
