First book of a trilogy, Pride and Prejudice from Darcy's point of view. I thought it was very good. Darcy and Bingley gain extra dimension while Elizabeth is still a vague sketch (though this is understandable since Darcy at this point has little contact with her). Well-researched (fun historical details about clothing: wetted down dresses, intricate cravat knots, and shot-silk waistcoats abound) and well-written. I'm looking forward to the rest of this series!
