Summary
  • Synopsis: Witty and amusing, this novel captures the original style, themes and sardonic humor of Jane Austen's novel while turning the entire story on its head in a most engaging and entertaining fashion. Darcy's Passions tells the story of Fitzwilliam Darcy and his obsession with the most impossible woman-Elizabeth Bennet. It presents Darcy as a man in turmoil. His duty to his family and his estate demand he choose a woman of refined tastes. Yet, what his mind tells him to do and what his heart knows to be true are two different things. He loves a woman he first denies for being unworthy, but it is he who is found wanting when Elizabeth Bennet refuses his proposal of marriage. Devastated, he must search his soul and transform himself into the man she can love and respect. Fitzwilliam Darcy in the original Pride and Prejudice is a major "minor" character. He is the hero of the tale, but the reader never really knows how he creates the changes we accept as part of his personality. This book tells how Darcy found the way within himself to become the hero, and not the villain, of this beloved tale
