An Assembly Such as This By Pamela Aidan
Simon & Schuster, 2006. 246 pgs. Fiction
Mr. Darcy has never been wholly comfortable at large gatherings and usually goes out of his way to avoid them and the attention his social station usually attracts. Because of this, the thoughts of attending a public gathering in Hertfordshire with his friend Charles Bingley inspire a fair amount of dread. And so begins this re-imagination of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice as told from Darcy’s point of view.
It is amazing how many times the same story can delight and entertain. In this book, the first of a trilogy, Aidan reintroduces beloved characters and conversations with a new twist that is still true to the original. I consider this to be one of the better Austen knock-offs and could easily recommend it to anyone.
