Mr. Darcy's Diary

Mr. Darcy's Diary
By Amanda Grange
Sourcebooks, 2007. 329 pgs. Fiction

Mr. Darcy gets a chance to tell his side of the story. In his diary, he reveals his concern for his sister and his friend Bingley as well as his growing attraction for Elizabeth Bennet.

This is a quick read, and it's enjoyable for fans of Pride and Prejudice. I quite enjoyed the chance to re-live Darcy and Elizabeth's story without having to wade through Jane Austen's more detailed prose; although I like Pride and Prejudice, Darcy's version has less of the scenic description and a bit more of the lovely parts about Darcy and Elizabeth's journey toward understanding and love.
