book #4


Book: Mr & Mrs Fitzwilliam Darcy
Author: Sharon Lathan

Plot Summary:  This book continues the story of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.  The wedding is over and so begins the honeymoon for Mr & Mrs Fitzwilliam Darcy at Pemberley.   The lovers, who had much to overcome in Jane Austen's story, are able to embrace their marriage with romance and passion.  
Overview: Jane Austen would not approve, and I felt as though I betrayed her beautiful, romantic story by reading this book.  There is no plot, and, the majority of the time, I felt as though I was reading a Danielle Steel or Nora Roberts book.  Within the first 50 pages, I almost stopped reading numerous times.  Yet, I continued reading and was surprised.  At time, the author surprised me with an interesting passage and decent writing.  My opinion, skip this book and enjoy the original, G-rated book.  It ends where Jane Austen ends the story.
