I absolutely loved this installment of Marsha Altman's series. I loved her take on Gregoire's life and how he went from being a monk in Spain to a gentleman in Ireland with a new family, as well as the hints of the others' lives.
This story sucked me right in from the start, and I couldn't put it down. The things I especially enjoyed: Dr. Maddox taking young Frederick to see the ailing King George, his and Caroline's constant wariness of the Prince Regent over the subject of Frederick, and the fact that Caroline finally got something she'd always wanted -- a title. I've grown to like the Caroline Bingley of Ms. Altman's series. She's grown up from the woman we saw in Jane Austen's novel, which I think is rather realistic.
I also enjoyed Mary Bennet getting her happy ending. It would have been nice to see more of her after her marriage, but I liked what I did see.
I was sad to see the end of Mrs. Bennet. She may have vexed everyone, but she was well-loved by the entire family, and it was sad to see her go. I really liked how Mr. Bennet was affected. He teased her so much, but he really did love her, and I could completely understand how he couldn't bear to be at Longbourn anymore without her.
I also rolled my eyes when Mr. Collins tried to bring up the subject of the entail and the inheritance. The man's timing really hasn't improved over time, has it?
A brilliant, amazing story! I just loved it!

I love Gregoire. I wish this series would start up again.

With The Ballad of Grégoire Darcy, Marsha Altman has changed publishers — however, the writing and story crafting are as well executed as ever. This book moves forward the lives of Jane Austen’s original characters as well as those that have been added over the last three books. Since the end of Pride and Prejudice, children have been born to Darcy and Elizabeth, Bingley and Jane, Charlotte and Mr. Collins, Carolyn Bingley and her husband Dr. Maddox, Mary Bennet, and to Lydia and Wickham and also to Lydia’s new husband. The children now are of an age to be looking forward to going away for the education (if they are boys) and to be finished if they are girls.
The world is changing rapidly and the society that Austen wrote about, while still in existence, is being changed by the rise of the middle class and the movement to gain government funding for public education. This book is purportedly about Grégoire Darcy, though it also moves between the lives of the other characters — the changes in Grégoire’s life impacts others as they have an impact on his life. The first change was when Darcy made him promise to stop whipping himself and found him a place in a Benedictine cloister where Darcy believed he’d be safe.
Grégoire has devoted his life to the church. Now-a-days there are many ways of serving — of helping to make the world a better place — but in this age the church, as it had been for many many years, was the first such thought for those who wanted to dedicate their lives to a higher good. The problem for Grégoire is that his desire is not politically motivated but from a deep commitment to God and his religion. It’s his desire to help that leads him to use his funds to help those in need within the range of his abbey. When the church learns of his funds, they punish him for hiding it from them and demand he turn control over to the church, which he cannot do for Darcy can deny the church access. His punishment nearly causes his death — which moves the bishop to want to declare Grégoire a saint. Meanwhile, Grégoire’s abbot is trying desperately to find a way to save him from this fate, for the abbot comes from a family highly placed in the church and he knows the political maneuvering that goes on in Rome. Luckily, Grégoire is rescued from this conflict of interests because Darcy, worried when he hadn’t heard from his brother, sends a trusted family member to check on him. Grégoire is returned to England — near death and excommunicated from the church — and into the care of Dr. Maddox.
It’s from this point that Grégoire struggles to understand what has happened to him and how to reconcile his beliefs and his desire to serve God to the facts of his excommunication. He now questions everything and feels that he has no compass to guide him. Meanwhile other family members are also having their own problems.
Altman manages to move from one part of the story to another and to weave together a coherent tale of the duties, joys, sorrows, and importance of family using the various threads to explore the variations on a theme. When a continuation of the Pride and Prejudice story grows through the addition of characters and a second generation, the author usually narrows the focus of the books to a single story line and will then follow with bringing another character up through the same time period. Altman manages to balance the narrative by time-slicing — moving in order between the various plot lines to bring them all to some conclusion by the end of the book. This is great news for the reader for you don’t have to wonder what is happening to one group while reading about another — you just need to keep reading and you’ll find out. On the other hand, it’s a difficult task for a writer to balance the narrative between plot lines and to keep it all coherent with smooth transitions for the reader. Marsha Altman gets an excellent grade for this — though I can’t help wondering if with the increase in family she’ll be able to do this much longer.
However she does the next book, I know that I will read it. I will most likely enjoy it. And, I’m already looking forward to it. She’s managed to keep the integrity of the original characters and allow them to grow and change with the times while telling interesting and historically relevant stories. Who could ask for more?

In my complete blog post, I reviewed Ms. Altman's entire series to date (the full review can be found at ebookocracy.com if you are interested). Here is an excerpt relevent to this volume:
Grègoire begins this story happily as a Benedictine monk in Spain and he ends it by getting married to an Irish widow. How he gets there is title storyline of the book, but we are also given a glimpse at the courtship of Mary Bennet, an explanation of the Darcy's extreme dislike of society and Caroline's husband gives her the best gift ever--the title of Lady. I don't want to give away too much, but I can say it will be more than worth your time to read this book and find out answers to questions such as: Why on earth would Bingley put his head in the mouth of a tiger? And how long would he last in a fight with a martial arts expert. Who was the original heir to Pemberly if it wasn't Darcy's father? Will Mrs. Bennet ever marry off the last of her daughters?
As you might notice, Ms. Altman has added quite a few original characters to this series of books. From the spouses and children of Austen's characters to friends and family that have been created specifically for these stories, Ms. Altman characters are, in my opinion the primary reason for reading this series. I'll admit, I first read this as a series of fanfictions so I have some idea of where this storyline is going and although this may surprise some of you, in the end I found myself more attached to some of the new characters introduced here than I am to Austen's original cast. Future storylines continue to touch on the lives of our favorite couples, Darcy and Elizabeth and Jane and Bingley, but through the lives of their children. Expect even more adventure, romance, misunderstandings (they are Darcy and Elizabeth's kids after all) and swords to come in the rest of the series. I don't know about you, but I can't wait :)

This book was wonderful. Some parts of Grégoire's story were almost painful to read, they were so tragic. He was such an innocent at the beginning, and somehow, through all of his trials and tribulations, he retained that innocence. Despite being wounded and betrayed by those he loved most, his faith stayed strong. (Though he did engage in a couple of spectacular instances of sin.)
I loved the secondary characters in this book, particularly the children. Geoffrey Darcy, George Wickham, and Georgiana Bingley are now young teenagers, about to make their mark on the world. Georgiana has wonderful potential. I loved reading about mild-mannered Jane and Charles being bossed around by their stubborn daughter. I hope that she gets a novel of her own one day.
I enjoyed the Irish accents in the latter half of the book. I had fun trying to decipher the precise meanings, and I still have not figured them all out. What exactly does "fierce quare" mean? Eventually, I googled it to make sure my guess was right. (I was pretty close, it means "extremely strange.")
Elizabeth was witty, Darcy was perfect, Jane was sweet, Bingley was naive, Monkey was....wait, did I just say "Monkey"? Yes, a monkey has descended upon the hallowed halls of Pemberley, and Charles Bingley may never be forgiven. And, to top off a lovely novel, what would a Marsha Altman book be without Darcy rushing to the rescue of at least one of his many relatives?
This is a magnificent addition to my favorite Pride and Prejudice sequel series, and I would recommend it to all lovers of Jane Austen and regency romance.

This is not your usual kind of variation. No this is the family saga kind of variation. This book is the fourth in the Darcy and Bingley Pride and prejudice sequel. Kids have been born, people have gotten married, there has been trouble and fun times, and lots of secrets.
I have not read the previous books but then I am a fast learner. In the beginning of the book was a family chart so I just checked who had married who and read the introduction by Altman. And then I was up to speed and could get started.
In this one there is general focus on the Bingleys, Darcys, The Maddox family (that is Caroline Bingley's husband who is only a doctor ;). But there is also other things going on. Mr Darcy found out that he has an illegitimate brother called Gregoire who now is a monk in Spain. But things get out of control and he comes to England. As a devote monk he has difficulties living a normal life. I do fear he was a bit too saintly for me, but it was an interesting.
The other history sure took me by surprise. It seems that in a previous book Mary had an affair with a seminary student and got pregnant! Yes pregnant, I sure missed a juicy story there. And now she is in an unwed mother and she will get courted, but can she trust love? Oh I am still shocked by the whole unwed mother part..Mary! Yes, that is the juicy stuff going on in this series.
It was an interesting variation to read. Altman sure knows these character and creates wonderful and sad scenarios. here are ups and downs just as in every normal life.

Loved this book. A very fast read. A lot of info is revealed into the characters background. Darcys background and I think we learn a little about his personality thru Gregroire. The story was wonderful and starts a few years after the last novel. This one is definitly worth reading and I can't wait for book 5

November 9, 2011I only got this book as a quick weekend read. I was surprised. nothing will ever compare to Jane Austen, but this book is actually pretty good. Lots of character development, makes you further understand why Darcy is the way he is.

Love these!!

This is not a book to be rushed. It's a book to be savoured.
There is so much going on but I was very grateful for the quick catch up at the beginning.

The Ballad of Gregoire Darcy: Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice Continues
Interesting story about the younger Darcy half-brother, Gregoire. This story continues after Darcy and Dr. Maddox are rescued from Transylvania. The March of Napoleon's army on Russia has wreaked havoc in Europe. Monasteries have disbanded and Gregoire relocates himself to Spain. Between the local community and the Church community, the Archbishop declares him a living saint. At the same time he finds that Gregoire has a lot of money being held by Darcy for Gregoire's use. After requesting £5000 to be used for repairs on the homes of the local people, discovering the money didn't arrive, and not hearing from Gregoire for quite awhile, Brian and Nadi set out to find why. What they find proves to be intolerable and great speed he's removed from Spain to return to London. Arrives at Pemberley eventually with his brother and fully recuperate from the horrible affair. Decides to make a pilgrimage to Ireland where his life changes forever needing his brother's help one more time. Gregoire finally finds true happiness.

I had originally read this years ago, and I revisited it to be able to write a review because I had no memory of this installment of Altman's series.
I have to say that I enjoyed it much more this time than I did last time, raising my stars from 2 to 3. The rating has nothing to do with the quality of the writing. Altman is an excellent author, and she has done an amazing job building this alternate universe of the Darcys, Bingleys and their families.
For me, although I am less of a "purist" than I was before, I find that by this installment that this universe has taken over and it is its own beast. It's gone so far from the original source that if it wasn't for the names, and a few connections to the past, it could have easily been an original work of fiction. Some of the action near the end I found a bit overly dramatic, but it is within keeping with the other books in the series. I'm actually going to close the curtain on this series for me, at this point, knowing that there's 6 more books in this series, because it has moved on so far.
Enjoyable and dramatic

Wow, I loved this installment. I can see how the author is trying to move to the next generation, which is fun, too. Gregoire is definitely one of my favorite "added" characters, and I loved focusing a book more on him than the original P&P characters. I was also glad to see that Darcy was more of his usual stay-at-home and avoid the world self in this one. Basically, I love this series.
Read
July 14, 2016meh. It probably would have been great but I was expecting something at least along the lines of an attempted Austen--so maybe my prejudice lies in that. Maybe I will try again later knowing better what I am headed for, maybe not. Part of the problem, also, is the insane number of characters right from the get-go.
May 5, 2011
I am the author of this book and I'm rather proud of it. I would just like to use this space to point out that Goodreads also knows this book as Manner of Devotion because that was the original, pre-publication working title that went up by accident.
July 10, 2016
I only got through the Introduction where Altman was catching readers up on what has happened in her "Pride and Prejudice Continues" series. It read like a horrible soap opera gone out of control and I couldn't bear to read any further.
February 25, 2013
I think this author may be my favorite among the P&P "what if" authors. This book continues the adventures of her previous characters with the addition of a few new people. I hope she continues this exciting story!
November 27, 2013
Best book of the series so far. I actually forgot for a while that Gregoire Bellamont was invented by Ms. Altman and not Jane Austen. I cared as much about him and his happiness as I cared about Lizzy's and Darcy's and everyone else. Can't wait to see how the kids turn out now :)
October 1, 2016
I struggled through this one...it couldn't keep my attention and I wound up skimming sections looking for specific characters.
I always look for Darcy and Elizabeth and then Mary.
Darcy's time with his nephews read well but I found some other characters too boring.

I am the author of this book. I just want people to know that the actual title is "The Ballad of Gregoire Darcy."
