This book was a lot of fun to read and I enjoyed seeing the story twist that P.O. Dixon used and how she wrote all the different characters as well as meeting a few new characters. I thought the story was well done and that the author did a good job of bringing the reader into the story and breathing life into her characters. I look forward to reading more Austenesque books by P.O. Dixon in the future. ( ) Una lucha de inverosimilitud y fascinación Bewitched, Body and Soul: Miss Elizabeth Bennet por P.O. Dixon Una curiosa y emotiva variación, nos presenta a una atrevida Elizabeth que hace todo por ayudar a su dulce hermana Jane. El libro es cortito, fácil de leer y muy divertido. No hay profundidad en la definición de los personajes pero cumplen su cometido en hacer agradable la historia. Vemos a una Jane menos solícita y más demostrativa de su decepción y tristeza por la partida del señor Bingley. La historia se inicia como una variación pero toma una ruta alternativa porque varios de los hechos de la historia original cambian. Y otros son creados para dar más emoción y romance a la historia. Vosotros recordaréis la adaptación de Orgullo y Prejuicio de 1995 cuando Elizabeth sale de su casa, (en el momento que el señor Bingley propone matrimonio a Jane) se va a pensar sentada en un árbol (después de la visita del señor Darcy y Bingley), pues esta escena se da en el libro con la diferencia que luego el señor Darcy aparece y los dos hablan. Momentos tiernos que te hacen disfrutar de esta historia. El viaje a Kent se realiza con la adición de otro miembro. Y los eventos suceden con sorpresas muy divertidas y socarronas. Un señor Darcy con más sentido del humor. La autora hace un repaso rápido por las injustas condiciones a que la mujer era sometida por las costumbres de la época, elección de la pareja, la idea constante de mantener el estatus social o mejorarlo, etc. Entra en juego un personaje interesante como la duquesa Juliette que plantea un punto importante de aquella época, la falta de libertad de la mujer frente al matrimonio. ¿Por qué una mujer no puede seguir siendo libre y amar al mismo tiempo? A pesar de las pocas pocas páginas del libro, su lectura es animosa y ágil, sin mayores pretenciones. http://warmisunquausten.blogspot.com.es/2013/08/una-lucha-de-inverosimilitud-y.h... What happens when Elizabeth Bennet's propensity for impropriety takes a turn for her worst? PO Dixon has written a compelling story of Elizabeth and Darcy's tempestuous and misguided relational attraction. Elizabeth decides to accept the Gardiner's invite to London in order to confront Bingley, on behalf of her sister Jane, regarding the love lost between them. Unfortunately, her best laid plans go badly astray, and we're invited into the suspense of what happens along the way! Some introduction of new entities and relational twists add to the diversions, but all lead to the satisfying conclusion we're hoping for. Elizabeth and Darcy have their say with the likes of Catherine de Bourghe and we're gratified in the process :) Not a lengthy read at 165 pages, so definitely a great novel to pick up knowing you'll be well into the story in no time... Thx PO for a great weekend diversion! Another great addition to my Austen in August participation at Roof Beam Reader's Challenge [2012] nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
"**Highlights** The heroine defies convention by arriving unescorted on the doorstep of a single gentleman. The threat of scandal looms ... The aftermath ... Overview Elizabeth determines to right a wrong against her family by reuniting her sister and the man she loves. Society's expectations and decorum are but a few things standing in her way. Upon discovery, will Elizabeth forgive the one man who has been the means of disappointing the hopes of a most beloved sister? **What Readers Say** "The tension/angst between Darcy and Elizabeth was perfect throughout the story. It wasn't too much but just enough to keep the readers wanting more." Stephanie H., reader "I just couldn't stop reading until I finished it." Robin Helm, author **Quotes** "The past weeks had taught him that it would take more than time and distance to release him from the spell of the beguiling country miss who managed to captivate him with a nod of her head, a witty turn of phrase, and a teasing smile." Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy "Undoubtedly, he cares. I am never mistaken about these things." Miss Elizabeth Bennet "How nonsensical. With such a mother, it was no wonder his daughters were such frivolous creatures." Mr. Bennet "In my opinion, the course you are set upon is guided less by reason and prudence than by a desire to manipulate events best left to others." Miss Mary Bennet "Why must you be aloof with me, Mr. Darcy? Surely, my brother has told you how much I esteem you." Lady Gwendolen Helmsley Bewitched, Body and Soul: Miss Elizabeth Bennet ~ A Regency historical fiction adaptation of Jane Austen's timeless classic Pride and Prejudice."-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
