For almost two hundred years, people have asked: What did Mr. Darcy do all those many months in London after their party left Hertfordshire? What was Mr. Darcy thinking while he stood solemnly by, watching others while speaking very little or not at all, and what did he do when he was not in Miss Elizabeth Bennet's company? What occupied Mr. Darcy when he returned to London after Hunsford, and what was involved in his quest for Lydia and Wickham?All these questions and much more are answered in rich and colourful detail as the reader is once again drawn into the world of Jane Austen's most treasured novel: Pride and Prejudice. Written from Mr. Darcy's point of view, M. K. Baxley's narrative is a long read at 562 pages, detailing many of the scenes only spoken about in passing in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. A Man in Want of a Wife explores Mr. Darcy's emotions, his passions, and, most importantly, the struggles and conflicts he must overcome to again ask for the hand of the woman he has come to love. New characters are presented as the reader is introduced to Mr. Darcy's friends and family in London, Kent, and Derbyshire.Fitzwilliam Darcy: A Man in Want of a Wife is rated PG.
