Book Overview

The first installment in Pamela Aidan's irresistible trilogy, An Assembly Such As This takes us into the world of Jane Austen's Fitzwilliam Darcy.

"She is tolerable; but not handsome enough to tempt me."

So begins the timeless romance of Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice. Jane Austen's classic novel is beloved by millions, but little is revealed in the book about the mysterious and handsome hero, Mr. Darcy. And so the question has long remained: Who is Fitzwilliam Darcy?

In An Assembly Such as This, Pamela Aidan finally answers that long-standing question. In this first book of her Fitzwilliam Darcy, Gentleman trilogy, she reintroduces us to Darcy during his visit to Hertfordshire with his friend Charles Bingley and reveals Darcy's hidden perspective on the events of Pride and Prejudice. As Darcy spends more time at Netherfield supervising Bingley and fending off Miss Bingley's persistent advances, his unwilling attraction to Elizabeth grows--as does his concern about her relationship with his nemesis, George Wickham.

Setting the story vividly against the colorful historical and political background of the Regency era, Aidan writes in a style comfortably at home with Austen but with a wit and humor very much her own. Aidan adds her own cast of fascinating characters to those in Austen's original, weaving a rich tapestry from Darcy's past and present. Austen fans and newcomers alike will love this new chapter of the most famous romance of all time.

Enjoyable Austen sequel

By Thriftbooks.com User, June 25, 2004

With the proliferation of Austen sequels out there, readers must be discerning in their selections. "An Assembly Such as This" is a rare find, in that it is true to Austen's characters and plot, but it still offers a fresh perspective and tone. Obviously no one can tell this tale better than Jane Austen, but Pamela Aidan is an impressive second.At last we have a round, developed Darcy, whom we never really get acquainted with...

The elusive Darcy meets his match

By Thriftbooks.com User, January 6, 2004

The cool headed Mr. Darcy's composure is breeched by the witty, graceful and lovely Elizabeth Bennet. Darcy is caught in a dilemma between "being a man of property" with high social standing, and his desire for a woman that outclasses the women of his class.Pamel Aiden also...

Brilliant and whole-heartedly recommended

By Thriftbooks.com User, November 1, 2003

The charm of Pride and Prejudice has lured many into attempting to write about this delightful love story, but in my opinion no such work can parallel the mastery of Pamela Aidan's novel. Beautifully written, in exquisite austenesque language - so rare amongst Jane Austen's followers - Pamela Aidan's work is the only one worthy of standing alongside the original story, as its perfect companion. If you wish to read only one...
