I’m quite new to Pride and Prejudice. I don’t think I read it in high school. I was more of a Harlequin Temptation and Mills and Boone. My mother didn’t know. I read when I’m supposed to be sleeping.
I have read a few more version of P&P staring Mr. Darcy’s point of view. Namely:

DARCY’S STORY by Janet Aylmer
THE CONFESSION OF FITZWILLIAM DARCY by Mary Street
ME AND MR DARCY by Alexandra Potter
Mr. Darcy’s Diary by Maya Slater
Pamela Aiden’s trilogy
MR DARCY TAKES A WIFE by Linda Berdoll
THE LAST MAN IN THE WORLD by Abigail Reynolds

and a few more I can’t quite remember. My favorite kind of version is when the story is also in Mr. Darcy’s point of view.

I like Marsha Altman’s version. It seem very fitting. Darcy and Elizabeth came together to rescue Lydia in Jane Austen’s book. This time, Darcy and Elizabeth must travel to the continent to rescue Mary. I thought, and this basing on the movie version charactirization of Mary, that she would be the last person to get into trouble. But, she’s in love.

I like the details on the children, how they’ve become multi-colored under their father’s care. It’s a fun book to read to while away a few quiet afternoons. I’m glad to have read it. Quiet and summer don’t usually go together for me because my children loves to include me in all their activities.

I have not read the first title of this series. I did not know what fan-fiction was. I have no idea I’m fully emmersed in one.

Thanks to Danielle for my ARC copy. My mother’s in line to read it. She’s into Mr. Darcy too.
