From the moment I readPride and Prejudicein high school, I was hooked. I love Jane Austen’s novels, particularlyPride and Prejudice, withSense and Sensibilitycoming in a distant second. I have read P&P over 10 times, watched multiple mini-series and movie adaptations, joined the Jane Austen Society of North America, and, still, I just can’t get enough.
最近,我去了图书馆的书在我的家town, and was browsing the adult fiction section. My sister happened across two books that had “Mr. Darcy” as part of the title, grabbed them, and handed them over. Of course, I purchased them and read them both the same week. One,Mr. Darcy’s Diaryby Amanda Grange, was pretty good – better than most JA fan fiction novels. The other, though, left me completely bereft after reading –Mr. Darcy and the Secret of Becoming a Gentlemanby Maria Hamilton. I loved it. The first thing I did after finishing it was look to see if there was a sequel.
