Oh, wouldn’t you like to take a peek into the diary of every woman’s dream man, Mr Darcy? If you don’t already know him, he’s that pompous guy from Jane Austen’s novel, Pride And Prejudice
My friend told me that Mr Darcy came out tops as the perfect man for women in a voting poll! Love struck girls worldwide have long been swooning over him after drooling over hotshot actors Colin Firth and Matthew Macfadyen who played this unforgettable character in two different film versions of P&P.
So, Mr. Darcy’s Diary
The flow is similar to P&P but this time, the story is from Mr Darcy’s point of view. From reading it, we know that he does not find Elizabeth beautiful at first (oh my gosh) and he just couldn’t help falling for her despite unsuccessful attempts to put her out of his mind. But no matter what he tries to do, he’s always thinking of her or sneaking peeks at her when she’s around. It’s almost like reading the diary of a teenager in love!
There are even instances where you can sense some jealousy on his part. Well, he does have reason to be jealous since Elizabeth had been defending the colourful Mr Wickham vehemently on one occasion.
Wait, there’s more! Mr Darcy continues updating the diary after being married to Elizabeth. This new development is certainly interesting.
The author may have stayed really close to the book but I’m not an expert on the similarities and differences to the original version as I read P&P a few years ago. I can say that this diary would no doubt pique much interest among P&P fans who just can’t get enough of the ‘most disagreeable, horrid man’, as how Mrs Bennet once described him!
I can’t wait to read two other books by the author – Mr. Knightley’s Diary
