As with all great (yes, I am using the word) novels this one unfolds slowly and gently, drawing the reader into its depths before he (me) is aware of it. I cannot offer details for fear of spoiling the surprise. Suffice to say that Ms D'Orazio has grounded her work in a plausible reading of the social and political history of the early 19th Century. Also the use of the Canon in a unique way makes the gentle dance between Darcy and Lizzy even more telling. What was wonderful was ...more

Wow! There is so much wrapped up in this book. The mostly cannon Pride and Prejudice combined with a mystery and intrigue. Elizabeth and Darcy find their love and have to work hard to stay together. However, their issues are not the usual kind. I won't say much else as it would give away the story, but I would recommend it to others.
Apparently I like this story! Every few years it comes up again happily! ...more

Highly recommended!

I loved this book so much! It is hugely different to the original. Elizabeth is essentially in hiding with her child following the murder of her husband. She is no longer Elizabeth Bennet but is Lady Courteney, of course, as she is in hiding, no one else knows this. She meets Darcy and their relationship is just so interesting, especially when he finds out her true identity. As the mystery of her husbands murder unfolds, my heart just breaks for the two of them. It was absolute exquisite agony t
