This is the second in the three part Darcy series which is basically a retelling of Pride and Prejudice from Darcy's point of view. This middle book covers the time between Darcy leaving Hartfordshire just before Christmas and Darcy running into Elizabeth at Easter. I really like it because the story is a pretty good Victorian Gothic novel on its own while still maintaining ties to the original novel. The characters are interesting and fun to read about. This is the second or third time I'ver read it, I can't remember. Each time I am not very excited to read it because it really doesn't have any of the parts of Pride and Prejudice that I like, but then I get sucked into the story and I just can't stop.
