Witty, romantic and insightful, Darcy's Passions captures the original style and sardonic humor of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice while turning the entire story on its head. Written from the perspective of Fitzwilliam Darcy, this novel tells his version of an improbable, even obsessive relationship with a most impossible woman--Elizabeth Bennet. This novel reveals Darcy's passion and conviction but also his turmoil. Darcy knows that duty to family and estate demands he choose a woman of refined tastes. Yet, what his mind tells him to do and what his heart knows to be true tear him in opposite directions. He loves a woman he first denies for being unworthy, but it is he who is found wanting when Elizabeth Bennet refuses his proposal of marriage. Devastated, Darcy must search his soul and transform himself into the man she can love and respect.… (altro)

At 560 pages I felt this was a big long, the first 60% of the book took the tale to the engagement of Darcy and Elizabeth which was the more interesting part.
Not too sure that the awful character of Darcy at the beginning of the tale was able to change enough to be acceptable to Elizabeth, but he seemed to change overnight.
I found the post engagement part a bit too 'sweet' for me. ( )

Every so often I like to read a Not Good book. That is, I pick something that requires nothing of me, that's easy to read and easy to forget. Since I am an admitted lover of Jane Austen's work, I have an unfortunate addiction to all the assorted sequels, variations, and other fan fiction that finds its way into print. Most of it falls into the circle of Not Good.

This does not equal Bad. A Bad book is another creature entirely. I avoid Bad Books. I resist giving them my time.

Another one of those books that I'm embarrassed to admit I absolutely adore. ( )

It feels like this was repackaged and resold under a different title. Am I wrong? Just, no. Try again. ( )

Un Fitzwilliam Darcy arrebatadoramente sensato y pasional

Es una reinterpretación del original, va siguiendo los hechos tal cual, un volver a contar la historia desde el punto de vista de Fitzwilliam Darcy, es la interpretación de Regina Jeffers de la obra Orgullo y Prejuicio. Hay coherencia en los diálogos, por ejemplo permite que Georgiana y el coronel Fitzwilliam tengan un conocimiento previo de Elizabeth, antes de conocerla.

Este "volver a contar" a través de los ojos de Darcy y desde la óptica de Jeffers es resfrescante, he leído otras dos variaciones del mismo estilo y es gratificante la firma que le imprime cada autor a su historia. Disfruto de la congruencia de los diálogos y ese ajuste perfecto con la historia original.

La autora logra retratar al Darcy caballeroso de ensueños y la transformación de sus defectos para ganar el amor de Elizabeth.

También tengo que reconocer que la historia me atrapó después que Darcy salió de Kent devastado, triste y sin esperanza por el rechazo de su amada. Después de los hechos de Pemberley, la boda de los fugados, viene la aceptación de Elizabeth, todo contado con un ritmo ligero con toques de humor y romance.

Los pocos nuevos personajes que crea, Jeffers, le dan ese toque de variedad con un final abierto para el siguiente libro.

Para un lector que ha leído otras obras parecidas, ésta aporta pocos detalles nuevos, pero si aún no ha leído ninguna variación de este tipo es una buena alternativa para empezar, porque seguro lo disfrutará. ( )
