Description
The third in McVeigh's prizewinning series of standalone historical romances.
"Should she reject me again, I shall have to wed - as I swore I never would - for dynasty alone. I can only ever love Elizabeth Bennet."
Love is put to the test in this fresh spin on Jane Austen's starriest novel, entwining original and classic characters in a tale of passion and self-discovery.
Alice McVeigh puts the spotlight on Darcy in this witty and imaginative re-telling of Austen's classic tale. In a timeless story of love amid the clash of social classes, Darcy is faced with a terrible choice: to stay in London to force Wickham's hand - or to go to Rome, to salvage his family's reputation.
With a new Darcyesque slant, omitted scenes from the original, and an extra helping of humour - as well as excerpts from The Wisdom and Wit of Miss Mary Bennet - this is a fresh new Pride and Prejudice with (wedding) bells on!
Classy, clean, and classic, Darcy is perfect for fans of Georgette Heyer - and, of course, Jane Austen.
Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"McVeigh's prose and plotting are pitch-perfect" - Publishers Weekly
"McVeigh displays a brilliant, spot-on command of Austen's diction and tone" - Kirkus Reviews
"The narrative is infused with a dry twenty-first-century sensibility that respects Austen while also peeking into her characters' thoughts. (Elizabeth, for example, points out Jane's "annoyingly obedient hair.") Darcy is an often delightful deep dive into what the characters of Pride and Prejudice were thinking but not saying." - Clarion/Forward Reviews
