( ) Not the best P&P sequel I've ever read. While not the worst, this one has a place near the bottom of the list. At times the author was trying to write with Austen's language, but just confusing me. I actually had to read the sentences two or three times before I understood what she meant to say, and what could have been conveyed a little easier. A lot of repeating lines from the original novel, which did frustrate me a little. There was even a part of the novel that showed the entirety of Darcy's letter to Elizabeth from Hunsford! Extremely unecessary - the opening line of the letter and a brief explanation would have sufficed. The story felt like it didn't really have a purpose until close to the end, and it wasn't really until the last 50 pages or so that I felt I had picked up a half-decent book. Not one I would recommend to fans of Austen Sequels. no reviews | add a review
Is a (non-series) sequel to
In Pride & Prejudice, Jane Austen captured hearts with the passion-filled romance of Elizabeth Bennett and Fitzwilliam Darcy. Now, Mr. Darcy's Decision finds the newlyweds in their tumultuous first year of married life at Pemberley, entrenched in the frivolous social pressures of their prying friends and family. While the sharp-tongued duo of Lady Catherine de Bourgh and Caroline Bingley criticizes Elizabeth, the new Mrs. Darcy has a happier matter on her mind--the fact that she is carrying the next Darcy heir. But when the sudden and unexpected return of Elizabeth's sister Lydia brings alarming reports of seduction and blackmail that threaten the newlyweds' life together, Mr. Darcy is forced to make the most difficult decision of his lifetime. Written in a style that stays true to the author's sardonic wit, Mr. Darcy's Decision paints a vivid portrait of Regency society--full of romance, tragedy, humor, and intrigue.
