P&P From Darcy's Point of View submitted by ErinDurrett on February 21, 2010, 6:56pm Mr. Darcy’s Diary was a fun way to reanimate the classic story of Pride and Prejudice. The story starts with Georgiana’s heartbreak over Wickham’s treachery and goes through to the first Christmas Darcy and Elizabeth share as a married couple. The book was a quick and easy read and was enjoyable in the regard of getting to see inside Darcy’s head. Obviously not being Jane Austen herself, Amanda Grange can only guess the thoughts Austen would have created for Darcy. Considering this, I think it immensely brave to take on such an overwhelming complex project. One thing that obviously bothered me was of course that it was just from Darcy’s point of view. I found I wanted a copy of Pride and Prejudice right next to me, so could go back and forth between the two. That is one reason I appreciate modern interpretations of historical romance, is that both parties are equally thought of, developed, and represented. But because of this book we are able to see another side to the beloved story that is Pride and Prejudice.
