I'm not going to go in depth on Aidan's writing, the purpose, etc. as these were covered in my review of the first book in the series, An Assembly Such As This. Duty and Desire is far more ambitious; it details Darcy's life from Christmas until right before he travels to Rosings. This is lost time...

I believe this is the volume that completely diverts from the original story line, but which seems wholly plausible given that the original story doesn't even touch upon what Darcy was doing for part of the year; which is why I enjoy it the best out of all the three. Despite the fact that I know how...
