“I believe anything has to be possible. You have to be able to face any problem that comes along and unravel it into a solution.” Jon Oringer
This was a clean, quick read that left the romantic heart sighing with delight. Since it was a novella, it moved quickly, although it didn’t feel rushed. I love a good Darcy and this young man was no different. Brown has a unique approach to the P&P Universe. She takes the basic pieces of Austen’s classic, reconfigures them into another story completely and yet, still keeps them true to the original.
The Hunsford Parsonage, along with it horrific proposal, will forever be the haunting moment of Fitzwilliam Darcy’s life. How had he been so mistaken regarding Miss Elizabeth Bennet’s opinion of him? How did he get it so wrong? Everything he had ever thought, regarding Miss Elizabeth and her pert opinions, was wrong… so horribly wrong. Oh, how would he ever recover from such a blow?
“Human curiosity, the urge to know, is a powerful force and is perhaps the best secret weapon of all in the struggle to unravel the workings of the natural world.” Aaron Klug
For whatever reason… curiosity perhaps… Elizabeth called out to Mr. Darcy and asked him to not leave. This was a new twist in our canon story-line. I loved how Elizabeth, though ill, was able to approach and discuss with Darcy their differences. This started them on a new and different tack and I loved the excitement of wondering what was going to happen next.
We also had the introduction of a new character in the grandmother, Lady Margaret. Now that lady was a pistol and no one in the family crossed her. She was made of sterner stuff and especially favored a younger version of herself in Elizabeth Bennet. Perhaps that is why she was particularly receptive of Elizabeth in Darcy’s life.
Georgiana was a delight and of course we always love our dear Colonel. Even Anne de Bourgh had a secret that I found interesting. There was something about Bingley that was a bit more… just more. I can’t say without giving a spoiler, but I think Jane is in for a surprise. And… perhaps Caroline as well if she crosses Bingley again.
Our antagonists [Caroline and Wickham] didn’t have page time, but were discussed. I was grateful we didn’t have to deal with them. Our story easily set up the next book dealing with Anne’s story. ‘Becoming Entangled,’ due out late Fall 2017. I am really curious as to what happens with her. I liked her in this story and she gave us a hint as to what she wanted. Enough said on that.
