Amanda Grange revisits Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice in this interesting book that summarizes the events of the original book in Mr. Darcy’s own words. Austen focuses on Elizabeth’s perspective in Pride and Prejudice and the reader is really left to wonder when Darcy fell in love with her. Grange clues us in on Darcy’s feelings and illustrates how he struggles with his feelings for Elizabeth. She leads us through his horrendous first proposal all the way through the end of Austen’s novel and gives us a hint into the future. Overall, this book was great for Austen lovers. Those who have never read Pride and Prejudice will most definitely want to give that a read, or at least check out a film version of the book, before picking up Mr. Darcy’s Diary. There are many books that pick up where Pride and Prejudice leaves off, but this one has a unique voice because it unfolds during the course of the original novel. It is definitely a quick summer read for fans of Jane Austen and Mr. Darcy. Recommended for teens and up.
