Five years have passed since the awful proposal of Darcy to Elizabeth at Hunsford, five years kept apart by misunderstanding. But now Bingley is ill and his business in trouble and he calls upon Darcy to keep his promise and look after his family. Can prior arrangements, intrigue, and a political conspiracy still keep them apart.
We have new main characters in Countess Millicent and Lord Van Lynden. And it is good to see that Colonel Fitzwilliam plays a much bigger role than in the original, with Lord and Lady Matlock also here.
An enjoyable tale with mystery and likeable characters who are thankfully not overshadowed by Darcy and Elizabeth… (altro)

After Hunsford Darcy spends two years away trying to forget Elizabeth Bennet. Only to find that she had married a Count Stefano and later died in a fire. Then a letter from the Bingleys changes his life, again.
In this story Georgiana Darcy is married, Wickham never joined the militia and came to Meryton, and Mr Bennet is dead. Though Jane Bennet and Charles Bingley are married, and of course there is Caroline Bingley. Though most of the characters do seem to be either perfect - Darcy and Elizabeth - or bad - ladies of the ton, Mrs Bennet.
Overall an enjoyable if gothic feeling story.… (altro)
