Darcy on the Hudson: A Pride and Prejudice Re-imagining by Mary Lydon Simonsen
2.0
Abandoned at 38% (kindle version). The author has written a lot of great JAFF stories, but she's also written some that have been too bogged down by historical detail. I am a huge history buff myself, but when I pick up a P&P what-if, it's because I want to read a story about Darcy and Elizabeth, not about a random historical setting.
I would estimate 70-80% of what I read was historical fact/detail. Did not contribute to character development, did not advance the plot (is there one??)
I hope Mary decides in the future to put her knowledge to use in a good non-fiction work; but keep it separate from JAFF stories!
