His Good Opinion
His Good Opinion: A Mr. Darcy Novel | Nancy Kelley
2 posts | 2 read | 5 to read
Mr. Darcy speaks from his heart: Pride and Prejudice from Darcy's point of view Though tired of Society's manipulations, Darcy never thought to be enchanted by a country maiden. However, on a visit to rural Hertfordshire, Elizabeth Bennet captivates him. Lovely and vivacious, she is everything he is not, and everything he longs to have. Unfortunately, her connections put her decidedly beneath him, and the improprieties he observes in her family do not win his favor. Putting her firmly out of his mind, Darcy returns to London, but Elizabeth is not so easily forgotten. When chance throws them together, Darcy can no longer deny his love, but Elizabeth, put off by his manners, refuses him. To change her mind, he must set aside his proud ways and learn how to please a woman worthy of being pleased. It takes a serious incident for his true character to shine, and for Elizabeth to learn just how valuable is... His Good Opinion

His Good Opinion: A Mr. Darcy Novel | Nancy Kelley

This one is a pretty straight narrative from Darcy's viewpoint for the entirety of P&P, meaning we get to understand more about his #pride and perspective. I enjoyed this one, but it was also somewhat boring because Kelley doesn't wander very far from the original story, and also doesn't really seem to think that Darcy has a sense of humor (I personally think he's one of those quietly snarky individuals). When I was pulling up this image from GR ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) I realized that the author actually wrote two sequels, one about Georgianna and one about Kitty, so I may have to check those out sometime as I thought the writing quality of this one was quite good, and exploring her own stories might make things a bit more interesting than just the flip side of P&P.

CrowCAH I see what you mean about sticking with the story. If she wanted to write a book from his side then go bold and make it different. Nothing will compare to the original!!! 3y
mabell I can see how that would end up boring - I can picture it perfectly! And I agree with you, Darcy definitely has a sense of humor, and most likely a snarky one! His comments to Caroline alone show that 😂 3y

This isn't really a P&P variation - it's just the story from Darcy's perspective (although still 3rd person). Since Darcy tends to be a rather serious, stoic character, this book wasn't bad, but it also wasn't very engaging. We still don't really get any background/motivation for Darcy, either. Still an enjoyable read as a parallel story to the original. Also my #DoubleSpin book this month!!
