Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Pride and Prejudice told from a delightfully different point of view. 'The Holy Grail of P&P sequels.' (Austenblog)
Originally published in the U.K., Mary Street's ingenious retelling of Jane Austen's classic story now makes its U.S. debut-to the delight of the fans of Austen's comic masterpiece of divine romance. In Fitzwilliam Darcy, Austen created the ultimate romantic hero. Yet Pride and Prejudice reveals little of Darcy's innermost thoughts. Here, Street unveils the true motives and mysteries of Elizabeth Bennet's enigmatic suitor. Through Darcy's eyes we discover the reality of his relationships with his sister Georgiana, his cousin Colonel Fitzwilliam, the dastardly Wickham, his friend Bingley, and his formidable aunt, Lady Catherine. And of course, all his memorable encounters with Elizabeth, from that very first view of her fine eyes to his disastrous proposal, and then to a pride and arrogance tempered by an unquenchable love.

I liked this version of Darcy's side of the story. The author kept Darcy true to his Austen roots.
Rated by buyers -
I really enjoyed this simple version of Mr Darcy telling the story himself. The author didn't create a storyline outside of the original, which I appreciated. I enjoyed reading Mr Darcy's own account of his feelings and emotions during his revelation of a world outside his own immediate circle. This is a very believable account of Darcy's struggle to overcome his prejudice and eventually win Elizabeth's love. I totally enjoyed it.
Rated by buyers -
I liked the way it starts out, and stays in Darcy's point of view and perspective. Very good imagry as you could see youself there with him.
His interactions and view of Elizabeth Bennet exactly as F. Darcy would view her as well.

If you have enough stress in your life, escape for a while into the world of Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennett. This story stays true to the original yet gives the reader more insight into the characters and the era. Good clean fun and a very nice read.
Rated by buyers -
I cannot usually bear to read expansions, continuations, revisions, or prequels of Jane Austen -- I tend to hurl them down before I reach page three. They all fail miserably to sound like Austen, and I'm appalled at the hubris the authors exhibit in attempting it.
But this book sneaked around my prejudice by being -not- in the voice of Austen, but in the voice of Darcy, and I enjoyed it very much. It was funny; it followed the original, but from a different point of view; it sounded like Darcy to me -- young, proud, passionate, uncertain, and a little humor-challenged.
Street even came up with a reason for Darcy to have attended that very first ball, though he doesn't enjoy it or expect to: he knows that if he stays home, Caroline Bingley will find an excuse to stay home too!
Get it. Read it. Enjoy it.
