Confined with Mr. Darcy by Carol S. Bowes, L.L. Diamond
5.0
Last night, around 2am, I woke up from the most chilling nightmare. The kind that makes you immediately sit up and look around the room for the person trying to kill you (it was @EdwardNortonOfficial in case you were wondering). I couldn’t go back to sleep without seeing his face, so I took a minute to find a quick read.
I have been a bit leery for the pandemic books, but with the Pride and Prejudice as the theme, and only around 100 pages, I decided to give this a ‘I need something to distract me’ go.
We meet Darcy and Elizabeth after he has already wounded her pride, and after she has refused him. If you know the story of Pride and Prejudice then, in my opinion, this is the perfect place to kick off a quick read. We already know he loves her, and we get to watch —er read— her fall in love with him.
You could not have found two more fitting jobs to compliment Jane Austen’s original characters; Elizabeth as a romance writer, Darcy owning a publishing business. I feel like if we were to bring Jane Austen back today she would give her approval. What better way to show the improvement of her mind than by extensive writing.
If you love Pride and Prejudice as much as I do, pick this up for a quick read. I had it done, front to back, in about an hour. Amazon has listed one hour and forty-one minutes as the typical time to read.
