When Elizabeth Bennet first met Mr. Darcy, she found him proud, distant, and rude—despite the other ladies' admiration of his estate in Derbyshire and ten thousand pounds a year. But what was Mr. Darcy thinking?Jane Austen's classic Pride and Prejudice has long stood among the most beloved novels of all time. The story of Elizabeth Bennet's blossoming romance with "haughty, reserved, and fastidious" Fitzwilliam Darcy has enchanted readers for nearly two centuries. Yet, Mr. Darcy has always remained an intriguing enigma—his thoughts, feelings, and motivations hidden behind a cold, impenetrable exterior . . . until now.With the utmost respect for Austen's original masterwork, author Janet Aylmer loving retells Pride and Prejudice from a bold new perspective: seeing events as they transpire through the eyes of Darcy himself. One of world's great love stories takes on breathtaking new life, and one of fiction's greatest romantic heroes becomes even more sympathetic, compelling, attractive, and accessible, all through the imagination and artistry of a truly gifted storyteller.

4.0 Darcy's Story - A great retelling from Darcy's POV
*4 to 4.4 stars**The Gush* This is the book every Pride & Prejudice lover has been dreaming of: the story told from Darcy's perspective that reads like a contemporary tale.

While he is the Progenitor of the coldly polite and handsome brooding hero, he still is a person and not just an archetype...

Stiff and unoriginally written. Supposedly Pride and Prejudice told from Mr. Darcy’s point of view, it is instead a bland recital of Austen’s scenes. Absolutely nothing new is added to what we already know of Darcy or any of the other characters. It is a very, very disappointing book.

1.0 Darcy's Story
This is professional fanfic. Published fanfic. This is Pride and Prejudice from Darcy's point of view. I liked it well enough but not enough to recommend it. I'm sure there's fan stories that are much much better written. This one kinda make Darcy act like a girl. Never a good thing.

Here's the next of the Darcy "during-quels" that I've just finished. This one also starts just before Georgiana's escapade with Wickham and ends just after the wedding of Elizabeth and Darcy. It extensively quotes the dialog of Jane Austen, and is written from a third person point of view, but telli...
