Mr. Darcy’s younger sister searches for her own happily-ever-after…
The year is 1814, and it is springtime at Pemberley. Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy have married. But now a new romance is in the air, along with high fashion, elegant manners, scandal, deception, and the wonderful hope of a true and lasting love.
Shy Georgiana Darcy has been content to remain unmarried, living with her brother and … living with her brother and his new bride. But Elizabeth and Darcy’s fairy-tale love reminds Georgiana daily that she has found no true love of her own. And perhaps never will, for she is convinced the one man she secretly cares for will never love her in return. Georgiana’s domineering aunt, Lady Catherine de Bourgh, has determined that Georgiana shall marry, and has a list of eligible bachelors in mind. But which of the suitors are sincere, and which are merely interested in Georgiana’s fortune? Georgiana must learn to trust her heart — and rely on her courage — for she also faces the return of the man who could ruin her reputation and spoil a happy ending, just when it finally lies within her grasp.
Georgiana Darcy’s Diary is Book 1 of the Pride and Prejudice Chronicles and is appropriate for all ages.

I am drawn to variations and extensions of P&P and usually disappointed. This was such a satisfying read. Georgiana was an honorable, kind, compassionate and, to some extent, selfless heroine. I liked her immensely. There were some modern touches that would not have totally fit an Austen world but it didn’t reduce my enjoyment of the book. I …
An imaginative continuation of Pride and Prejudice, this time focusing on Georgiana. Anne De Bourgh also comes out of her shell in this book. It’s fun seeing the world of Pemberley through Georgiana’s eyes.
Like having “what happened then” to those characters.
Could imagine this was written similarly to Jane Austin
Loved this book! One of the best Jane Austen styled “rest of the story” versions I’ve read. Nothing will ever beat Pride & Prejudice, but this story had some fantastic spins, with several lesser known characters brought to life, and given fun and interesting stories of their own. Stayed true to the feeling of P&P but truly original, sweet, …
At first I was very leery of this book, because of another fan fiction version of P&P I read had Colonel Fitzwilliam end up with someone else ( Mr. Darcy’s Diary by Amanda Grange *****). I thought they were perfect for each until I read Anna Elliot’s Georgiana Darcy’s Diary. Elliot expanded Edward’s character in a way that truly brought the …
Great fun and believable sequel
A Reasonable Profile of Georgiana Darcy
As a devotee of Jane Austen, I was, of course, compelled to pick up this novel, if only to spend a few additional hours in the company of one of her characters. But as Author Anna Elliott says herself – this is not another book that tries to mirror the style of Jane Austen. Instead, it contains excerpts …
I did like this book. Just took getting used to the slow pace.
If you loved Pride and Prejudice you’re going to love this book just the same.
There are a lot of books that take off from Pride and Prejudice. I found this one very interesting because it’s from Georgiana’s point of view. Her character is not developed really at all in P & P. So this book makes her come alive and has the added value of seeing Elizabeth and Darcy through other eyes.
Very well written
Charming for followers of Austin knock-offs
Loved this book. It was great to see what happened to the characters I have always loved.
An interesting way to tell her story. Enjoyed learning about georgians
Nice change from my usual thrillers, yet historical fiction. Easy read & enjoyable.
Well written and very entertaining.
An enjoyable read. Great characters and interesting plot. I thought the diary approach was an appropriate way to tell the story. Appreciated her concern in that she did not want to copy the original author’ s writing style.
Just don’t compare it to Austen, and you’ll do fine. It’s a regency romance, not an Austen.
It’s a sweet story, and well written. The MC does develop a backbone rather abruptly, but there was some foreshadowing of this.
It was written in such a way that I could the emotions that the characters were feeling without being told by the author what she wanted me to feel. Magical!
