DARCY'S STORY is the Jane Austen's PRIDE AND PREJUDICE retold from the point of view of its hero, Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy. Its style is much the same as the original, however, I found author Janet Aylmer's voice less able to wrap itself around the intracacies of 18th century verbosity than the story's original author. This was not unexpected, given our language's present tendency to speak in sound bites. Overall I found the novel a refreshing take on a story I have loved for some time.
