The Novels of Fitzwilliam Darcy, Gentleman

[kerravonsen]

I have to rave on about the trilogy I just finished reading, the "Novels of Fitzwilliam Darcy, Gentleman" by Pamela Aidan. The three books re-tell the events of "Pride and Prejudice" from Darcy's point of view. And it works, it really works. I especially loved the third book, where the events come to a head.

1) An Assembly Such As This
2) Duty and Desire
3) These Three Remain

I read these online as she was writing them
Really? Lucky you! So can you tell me where the Austen-fic writers hang out?
And do you know if she is writing any sequels?

The two that I had found were Pamela Aidan's website, Austenesque, and The Republic of Pemberley. I didn't get that deep into the fandom, since once I'd found her series, my itched was well scratched. :)

Thanks!

I also recommend The Jane Austen Book Club. It's got a wonderful sense of humour and a deep love of Austen. Even jcobleigh liked it, and he's not nearly as into Austen as I am. (I haven't seen the movie, though, and it doesn't look like a very faithful adaption of the book.)
