These Three Remain by Pamela Aidan - ADVISABLE

Aidan, Pamela These Three Remain: A novel of Fitzwilliam Darcy, Gentleman 437 p. Touchstone -

HS - ADVISABLE

The finale in the Fitzwilliam Darcy trilogy. Darcy is doing his best to forget Elizabeth Bennet and hopes that some time at his great aunt's country manor will help. Instead, there he finds Miss Bennet. He feels more in love with her than ever - and proposes marriage, which Elizabeth very quickly and coldly turns down. Reeling, Darcy heads back to London to do some soul-searching and changing, hoping he may become the kind of man that Elizabeth could some day love.

 I have thoroughly enjoyed this trilogy of "Pride and Prejudice" books, written through the eyes of Mr. Darcy. They go far in adding a depth to the man's character and thoughts that was lacking in the original. These books will be well received by Jane Austen's fans. It's fun to read the books side by side to see the two different points of view. Make sure you acquire all three in the series- and share them with your teachers!
