Book Reviews of The Confession of Fitzwilliam Darcy

Book Review: Delightful!
Summary: 5 Stars

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 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.



Summary of The Confession of Fitzwilliam Darcy

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 first view of her fine eyes to his disastrous proposal, and then to a pride and arrogance tempered by an unquenchable love.
