Mr Darcy's Diary

"Mr Darcy's Diary" by Amanda Grange

Goodread's Summary:

Monday 9th September
""I left London today and met Bingley at Netherfield Park. I had forgotten what good company he is; always ready to be pleased and always cheerful. After my difficult summer, it is good to be with him again. ...""

"The only place Darcy could share his innermost feelings was in the private pages of his diary...

"Torn between his sense of duty to his family name and his growing passion for Elizabeth Bennet, all he can do is struggle not to fall in love.

"Mr. Darcy's Diary presents the story of the unlikely courtship of Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy from Darcy's point of view. This graceful imagining and sequel to Pride and Prejudice explains Darcy's moodiness and the difficulties of his reluctant relationship as he struggles to avoid falling in love with Miss Bennet. Though seemingly stiff and stubborn at times, Darcy's words prove him also to be quite devoted and endearing - qualities that eventually win over Miss Bennet's heart. This continuation of a classic romantic novel is charming and elegant, much like Darcy himself.

"Pride and Prejudice has inspired a large number of modern day sequels, the most successful of which focus on the rich, proud Mr. Darcy."

My Review
Ahhh!!!  
Pride and Prejudice.
I recently read the book (I'm sad to admit for the first time) and it was….ahhh!!!!  Pride and Prejudice.
As awesome as the book and movie are, there are times when we have to get chunks the story second hand, some really important chunks. Not any more. Amanda Grange does a fantabulous (Yes, that is a word, Mr. Spellcheck!) job of filling in those gaps, in a very satisfying way. This book just makes me love Darcy even more. I love seeing things through his eyes. Many insights into the characters close to Darcy. PLUS, you get the extended version of the story, aka what happens in the Happily Ever. You are going to love this book!
