This book is fabulous! If Jane Austen had lived in this century, this would be the story she would have written. This is a must-read for all of us who are waiting for our Mr. Darcy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30771807.post-37818564723413780772008-11-06T16:47:00.000+08:002008-11-06T16:47:00.000+08:00Thanks, Julia! :) I love Jane Austen's books too! ...Thanks, Julia! :) I love Jane Austen's books too!

I was so carried away by the election yesterday and I didn't go. One of the worst P&P spinoff is Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife. Based on the original, I would have expected the Darcys to have had a passionate marriage, but nothing so explicit as the author has depicted in this book. *sigh*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30771807.post-21379749660715956342008-11-05T08:56:00.000+08:002008-11-05T08:56:00.000+08:00Trish - Oh, I too have that copy!

I did receive The Darcys and The Bingleys in the mail the other day, but I think that is more of a sequel type book rather than a modern take.
