The Man Who Loved Pride and Prejudice: A modern love story with a Jane Austen twist
reviewed on + 2 more book reviews


A very enjoyable modern P&P. Elizabeth is a sassy marine biologist with a Ph.D. and a shady past. Darcy is a rich and famous son of a political family, who is uncomfortable in the limelight. Sparks fly and misunderstandings abound when their worlds collide. Pemberly is now near the salt marshes of Cape Cod. The story within a story was an interesting twist, although it was a little cliched. That did not stop me from reading late into the night, though. There was a lot to like about this book. Im a huge Jane Austen fan, and I thought Reynolds did P&P very well. Move over Colin Firth, Calder Westing can smolder with the best of them.
