These Three Remain

These Three Remain
By Pamela Aidan
Simon & Schuster, 2007. 437 pgs. Fiction

This is the final book in the Fitzwilliam Darcy, Gentleman series and tells Darcy’s story from his visit to Rosings and the ill fated proposal, to the happily ever after at Elizabeth’s side. Aidan continues to expand Darcy’s character, motivations, and personal struggles in a way that stays impressively true to Austen’s original narrative.

This was my favorite of the three volumes. The series as a whole is highly entertaining and enlightening and I look forward to recommending it widely. This is not a work of literary genius, but it is a really fun, light read perfect for anyone who wants to experience the comfort of reading a story you already know and love.
