The First Year

Letters from Pemberley

In this continuation of one of the best-loved novels in the English language, Elizabeth Bennet, now Mrs. Fitzwilliam Darcy & mistress of Pemberley, finds herself in a different league of wealth & privilege. Writing to her sister, Jane, she confides her uncertainty & anxiety. Incorporating Jane Austen's own words & characters from her other works (who appear here with different names, associated with Austen's life, borrowed from another of her novels or a wordplay on their original name), Jane Dawkins pieces together a literary patch-work quilt to tell the story of Lizzy's first eventful year as Mrs. Darcy. The result is an entertaining & satisfying tale which will surely delight Jane Austen fans everywhere.

Ok, so I first read P&P when I was about 13 and the book hasn't left me since (it's still on my bedside table as I am writing this). I've read it countless times and know most of it by heart. In short, I'm addicted;) Anyway, I tried not to have high expectations before I started reading this book and really did my best to like it but I'm afraid I didn't. It lacks emotion and I just found it boring...
