In this imaginative retelling of "Pride and Prejudice, " Amanda Grange now tells the classic story through the eyes of its compelling romantic hero, Fitzwilliam Darcy--in a series of revealing letters that casts a sparkling new reflection on the manners and morals of the landed gentry in 19th-century England... Here, for the first time, are the letters written by the exceedingly proud and stubborn Mr. Darcy, covering the life-changing events that defined him--from the death of his father, to his control of his Derbyshire estate of Pemberley to his conflicted courtship with the lively, intelligent, and delightfully willful Elizabeth Bennet. Try as he may, he cannot deny his attraction to this woman with fine eyes, a playful spirit, a mind of her own... and an embarrassing family that is frankly, and utterly, beneath him. But it is Elizabeth who controls both their destinies, and whose surprises will change Darcy's life yet again.

Dear Mr. Darcy retells the story of Austen's Pride and Prejudice in epistolary fashion. Through the correspondence of our hero, Fitzwilliam Darcy, to his sweet sister, his haughty aunt, his cousin, the reprehensible George Wickham and others, we get to see more of his thought processes and therefore more insight into his character. The story begins with the death of Darcy's father, four years before Pride and Prejudice begins. It also shares the correspondence of other beloved characters such as the Bennet sisters, flushing them out more fully and some characters she has added and embellished for interests' sake. Although we know how the story will unfold, Dear Mr. Darcy is a fresh and appealing look at an always popular classic and is sure to please fans of historical novels and Austenites alike. Amanda Grange is a British author who has 20 published novels including six Jane Austen novels. Reviewed by RC
