Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Have you ever wondered what Mr. Darcy was really thinking? Find out his secrets in this captivating novel of love, pride, passion, and, of course, prejudice. Mr. Darcy's intimate diary reveals his entanglements with women, his dangerous friendship with Lord Byron, his daily life in Georgian London, his mercurial mood swings calmed only by fisticuffs at Jackson's--and, most importantly, his vain struggle to conquer his longing for Elizabeth Bennet.

Synopsis:

Literature's most famous romantic hero opens his diary: it's intimate, dramatic, deeply passionate, and sometimes downright shocking.

Cathy from Olympia, Washington, December 20, 2009 (view all comments by Cathy from Olympia, Washington)
Slater's Darcy is no namby-pamby-- he boxes, fences, and on occasion "beds" servants or other women (note that none of these events are sensationalized-- they only merit brief mentions in his diary). On occasion, as with real-life diaries, the entries can be a bit dry, (and extremely brief!) but this also makes the novel read more like a true account instead of a novel. Certainly not in the league of Pride and Prejudice, but a solid effort worth reading for the "story behind the story," or "what makes Darcy tick."
