Mr. Darcy's Little Sister by C. Allyn Pierson
4.0
C. Allyn Pierson‘s Mr. Darcy’s Little Sister is full of intrigue and societal maneuvering as Georgiana, Mr. Darcy’s sister, prepares for her presentation and first Season. The novel begins just as Georgiana learns of her brother’s engagement to Elizabeth, and she worries that her new sister will not like her. In Pierson’s novel, Georgiana is full of teen worries about who will like her and how she will be judged for her actions — no matter how mundane.
Coupled with a few shifts in point of view by the omniscient narrator, accomplished through breaks in the chapters or through diary entries from Georgiana, readers not only experience Miss Darcy’s anxieties, but also the concern her new sister, Elizabeth, and her brother feel as she nears adulthood and possible marriage.
“He looked over at his sister, who was across the room talking to Jane by the fireplace, and his expression softened. Elizabeth’s eyes followed his gaze. Georgiana’s light brown hair glowed golden in the firelight and her eyes looked as green and limpid as water. They twinkled at the outer corners when she smiled, as she did now at something Jane was saying.” (Page 44 of ARC)
