Mr. Darcy's Daughters : A Novel

Book Description

Picking up twenty years after Pride and Prejudice left off, Mr. Darcy's Daughters begins in the year 1818. Elizabeth and Darcy have gone to Constantinople, giving us an opportunity to get to know their five daughters, who have left the sheltered surroundings of Pemberley for a few months in London. While the eldest, Letitia, frets and the youngest, Alethea, practices her music, twins Georgina and Belle flirt and frolic their way through parties and balls and Camilla -- levelheaded and independent -- discovers what joys and sorrows the city has to offer an intelligent young woman. Readers will delight in the return of such beloved Austen creations as Elizabeth's old nemesis Caroline Bingley (now Lady Warren), the ever-reliable Gardiners and wayward Aunt Lydia.

Charming, beautifully written and full of societal intrigue and romantic high jinks, Mr. Darcy's Daughters is a tale that would please Austen herself.

Customer Reviews:

Awful sequel.......2007-10-05

Mr.Darcy's Daughters is an awful sequel. It's main idea, that Elizabeth and Darcy have 5 daughters is okay, but the author has created each of those 5 daughters as the same as the Bennett sisters, in gross caricature. If Jane, as the oldest Bennett daughter, is sensible and soft spoken, Letty, as the oldest Darcy, is moralistic, boring and whining. If Elizabeth as the second daughter is the heroine of P&P, then Camilla, as the second daughter has to be the herione of MDD, except that she has none of her mother's wit or intellect. Letty and Camila are followed by twins, Georgia and Belle, as exagerrated versions of Kitty and Lydia- flirtatious, hedonistic and recklessly impulsive. Aston makes one of them run away, live with and get married to a man who's "no-good".
An oft-repeated theme in the book is how the 5 daughters of one of the richest men in England have learnt, from their cradles, propriety, good manners and a great deal of self respect. Yet, in actual behaviour, nearly all 5 of them get into the same kinds of messes and behave in the same, if not much worse, ways that their predecessors in PP did. A new character in the book is a governess whose sole job appears to be to write romances and aid her youngest charge in dressing up as a boy. The girls live with Col. Fitzwilliam, first introduced in PP, and his wife. Fitzwilliam's avatar in this book is a petty, narrowminded, sanctimonious politician who is only interested in votes.
To conclude, Aston appears to think that a sequel means that the characters in it have to get into the same kind of mishaps that the original ones did- despite circumstances being entirely different. This book is full of annoying historical inaccuracies and would have been far better suited for some kind of contemporary romance set in America, rather than Victorian England. All in all, a thoroughly exasperating book.

Disappointing.......2007-06-08

I found it very hard to believe these were Fitzwilliam and Elizabeth Darcy's daughters. The storyline is entertaining, but I could not help but be disappointed that someone would come up with a story of them leaving their five daughters in London for over a year without their supervision. After all that Elizabeth went through with her own family and Darcy with his own sister, it's just unrealistic.

Here's one Austin fan who was VERY disappointed!.......2007-05-30

I fully suspected this sequel writer to be bad...my experience of "Scarlett" as a follow-up to "Gone With The Wind" has told me that generally, the people with the least ability to mimic someone elses' style in order to believably carry-off writing a sequel are the ones who actually end up attempting it.

Having spent two delightful days reading "Pride and Prejudice" before launching into this (so as to refresh myself on characters and plotlines), this story was an incredible disappointment that fell seriously short of any of the charm and wit of Austin. The writing style is weak and juvenile. The characters are flimsy and contrived. The author hasn't even the courage to take on Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth...she sends them to Constantinople, for a year, leaving seven kids behind. Do they leave the children with Mr. and Mrs. Bingley, the best friend and sister of the couple in question, respectively? No. Because then the author would have to write dialog for a well defined character.

The children are left with Colonel Fitzwilliam who, like the rest of the characters in the book, is now rich beyond imagining and who throws money around as if it were toilet paper. The author tries to imitate Austin's concern for social propriety and careful attention to clothing, but pays no attention to the subtletly of feeling, expression and observation in an Austin book, and comes off closer to a badly written romance novel about the South before the civil war. In fact, I've bought better written romance novels in a drug store for $4.99.

Yes, this book really was THAT disappointing.

The whole book is repetitive and insipid. I finished it simply because I had it in my posession, and because it was a bit like a tragic train wreck from which I absolutely could not look away. But I will not be getting the next two books when I next return to the library.

I just can't understand it. If I was going to try to pass a book off as an homage to a classic author, I would be beside myself the entire time I was writing it to make it as true to the original style and characters as possible. I'd research the times I was writing about, read other books written then, study the styles, and basically immerse myself as much as is physically possibly in authentic pieces of it so my story would be respectful of and faithful to the original. The last thing I'd want is a cheap, flimsy rip-off, dishonoring the original author and my own abilities as well. I can't imagine why the author of this book didn't find that important, or why at least the publisher didn't.

Like a movie makeover.......2007-05-26

After reading the Fitzwilliam Darcy series from Aiden, I had high hopes of continuing my Pride and Prejudice passion. Instead, this was a poorly written remake of Pride and Prejudice with cardboard characters for the five sisters in the time period that is supposed to be the children although it is in the same time that Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy first met. Find Aiden, it is a much better read.

Poor imitation .......2007-05-24

Its a risky thing to write a sequel to a classic novel...the author shouldn't have attempted it. The novel has Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth out of the country while their 5 daughters (what a coincidence?) run amok in London. The fact that the Darcy's have 5 daughters, whose personalities match the 5 original Bennett girls is irritating (2 stupid/silly girls, one pious girl, one pretty girl etc...). Really, since Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy were both appalled at her own family's manners and upbringing, I find it highly unlikely that they would let their unmarried girls loose on London without their supervision. The fact that the author created an elopment scandal as in the original book was lame. Skip this book.

Y2K complicates Boston PR whiz Tess O'Mara's life when an extra million dollars appears in her bank account. Only after she's spent a chunk of it does Tess discover that it's not the bonus she expected from her fabulously wealthy boss for a job well done. And whoever the money does belong to wants it back--bad. Forced into hiding, Tess heads for Almost, Arizona, to find her brother's old friend and Mel Gibson look-alike, Sheriff Jake McCall. Not your average small-town sheriff, Jake is just the man to keep Tess safe. Or is he? Tess finds her heart is in dire danger of being left behind in Almost with its quirky cast of characters, mysteriously compelling Mogollon cave dwellings, and one very sexy lawman. --Alison Trinkle

Book Description

A year 2000 computer glitch got her $1 million and a cowboy--and the wildest adventure of her life . . .

P.R. whiz Tess O'Mara is burned out. She's looking for a change. Something wild and crazy. The year 2000 has arrived. And that's when the trouble begins. A computer glitch has deposited one million dollars into her bank account. Problem is, it's somebody else's money, somebody who's willing to kill to find it--and Tess has already spent a big chunk of it on a new wardrobe and a powder-blue Mercedes convertible. Suddenly Tess is running for her life, as fast and as far as she can go . . .

. . . until she reaches the sleepy desert town of Almost, Arizona. Sheriff Jake McCall, a dead ringer for Mel Gibson, is there to catch her as she careens into town and collapses from heatstroke in his arms. Jake's prepared for anything--except the spoiled city slicker with trouble in her wake. The last thing he expects is to fall for her. But as danger tracks Tess to her door, something unexpected happens that will transform two very different people, and one dusty, dead-end town, forever . . .

Customer Reviews:

Terrible, Terrible, terrible!.......2001-07-14

Tell me something. Why even bother to make a heroine an intelligent, competent, capeable woman, repected by her peers and very good at her job when no more than fifty pages into the book you are going to turn her into a flake? Honestly, it was like an alien abduction. A practical, professional ad-exec buys a powder blue Mercedes and proceedes to not have a single thought for the rest of the book. Tess goes west, and mutates somehow into a mindless, helpless, sniveling being, whose only purpose for the next 250 pages is to be repeatedly rescued by the domineering, though sexy, hero, and show up in time for the sex scenes.

And as if that weren't bad enough to make the book worthy of being sat on by an elephant, the plot is jumbled and convoluted, with several extremely flimsey mysteries that hold water like a whiffle ball and quickly disolve into thin air. Where exactly was this money supposed to have come from? And at this point, does ANYONE really care, since the money thing has been dropped, too. The only good thing about the book was Tess's past life regression to an Anasazi cliff dweller, but that also disappeared about half-way through, leaving the reader with out a single excuse for having wasted about three hours of my valuable time.

Terrible Title - Good Book For The Beach Though.......2001-06-17

The title of the book put me off, but the story was better than anticipated. This isn't the be-all and end-all of romance novels, but it's good for a quick read. The plot could have been tightened up more - as others have mentioned, the ancient Native American flashback sequences seemed to be just dropped into the storyline without any explanation as to why Tess, an apparent Boston native, would be subject to them. Also, the "bad guys" were a little too faceless. But Tess and TJ had the requisite romantic appeal, the town was interesting, and the story flowed easily.

Fluff!.......2000-08-06

This book is slightly more intellectual than your typical trashy novel. Its characters are shallow, the plot is poorly developed and filled with holes, the dialogue is trite, and the sex scenes are tacky. At best, this book serves as mindless entertainment while on the beach--readers in search of thought-provoking depth should turn elsewhere!

A TRUE LOVE STORY FOR THE NEW MILLENIUM.......2000-07-30

THIS IS A WONDERFUL ROMANCE. TESS AND TJ ARE THE PERFECT MATCH WITH THEIR STRONG WILLED PERSONALITIES. THERE IS JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF DANGER IS THIS BOOK. TJ IS THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF A MAN'S MAN. THIS RUGGED COWBOY THAT COULD BE MEL GIBSON'S TWIN CAN MELT YOUR HEART. IF I HAD TO CHANGE ONE THING IT WOULD BE TO TAKE OUT THE VISIONS THAT TESS HAS ABOUT BEING AN INDIAN MAIDEN MEETING HER LOVER.

Imaginative, delightful, and inspiring!.......2000-07-11

Ms. Skye has the wonderful ability to entertain her audience with her writing. Whether it's historical, paranormal, or contemporary, her imagination and talent continuously creates winners, and 2000 Kisses is no exception.

Tess O'Mara is on a working cruise when a stranger makes a prediction about her, which puts an unattached Tess in hopes of her future and the chance at a life long love. With the cruise and New Years day behind her, Tess finds her promised bonus is a little more. Did I say little? It's a lot more than she expected. Once she starts spending, her worried brother, who thinks it's something more, steps in and sends her to a friend for safe keeping.

Amazing stuff!.......2003-12-04

Great, dark, action story with incredible painted artwork from Nick Percival - very detailed and moody art that suits the story perfectly.

A classic tale of Judge Dredd trapped in the Cursed Earth - Percival's depiction of Dredd, nailed to the cross is breath taking.

Customer Reviews:

An excellent sequel.......2006-12-13

Invader, the second book in what ultimately became the Foreigner series, is an excellent sequel to the first novel, Foreigner. It picks up immediately after where Foreigner ended, with the humans and the atevi both in turmoil over the unexpected reappearance after 178 years of the human ship Phoenix, both groups wondering the same things: why has the ship returned, what does it want, and how will all this affect the delicate human-atevi treaty which has kept the peace for so long?

Again, the story is seen through the eyes of Bren Cameron, the paidhi, the sole human allowed to live among the atevi, the man whose job it is to translate between the two races and who must at all costs prevent the kinds of mistakes that led to the first human-atevi war. The reappearance of the ship has, to say the least, made his job a hundred times more difficult. To make things worse, when Bren returns after treatment for injuries suffered in the previous book, he finds that his temporary replacement as paidhi, the openly hostile Deana Hanks, has not only thrown an entire box of monkey wrenches into the works, she also is refusing to leave, and it is all Bren can do to keep any number of atevi factions from having her legally assassinated in the normal atevi way of dealing with a problem.

One of the things that Cherryh deals with well in this novel is the difficulty of communication, be it on the species level, between human and atevi, or within species as Bren must deal with factions within the human community and factions within the atevi community, and ultimately on the purely personal level as Bren has to reevaluate his relations with those closest to him. As in the first novel, Cherryh continues to show just how hard true communication is, particularly when no groups really speak with a single voice, when unknown agendas are in play, when all sides shade or even withhold information seeking to gain an advantage, and when alien biology makes certain concepts simply untranslatable.

And added to all of the things weighing on Bren's mind in the midest of his growing isolation is the problem of what appears to be a mutual desire between him and Jago, the female atevi assigned to be his bodyguard. He is the paidhi, the translator, and yet he doesn't have the slightest clue of what he should say - or not say - to her, or how to interpret what her overtures might mean - or not mean. More to come on this in future installments, I'm sure.

All in all, an excellent sequel, guaranteed to keep you reading. Highly recommended.

Foreigner.......2006-11-06

I consider Cherryh to be the premier science fiction writer I have read and enjoyed, since starting as a sub-teenager, back in the 1950s. The entire Foreigner series, to date, as there appear to be some more on the way, is absolutely outstanding. When I read the last book in the sequence, I went an ordered the entier set to date. And have enjoyed each and every one as well as the first and latest! If you have not read them, start at the beginning and be prepared to buy, read and retain each and every one. I am posting this verbatum on the other two requested Foreigner series books I have been given the opportunity for which to review!

political jockeying and even more intrigue .......2005-02-25

Just when all the fuss had settled down from Foreigner --- more strangers arrive on the scene!
The spaceship which left the colony has come back, some 200 years later, expecting a functioning space station and must find a way to deal with the Atevi and the humans on isolated Mosphei. A way that benefits all parties and alienates none.

Plenty of political jockeying and even more intrigue and personal danger to Bren Cameron, Human interpreter to Atevi court, as well as danger and threat to those who protecet him.

Personal relationsips are tangled as ever among the Atevi, and the scenery is a gorgeous backdrop. Relationships which were forged in the first book are hesitantly budding in the second, as the Atevi's Jago & Banichi are still protecting the human diplomat.

Some have likened the Atevi & their world to feudal Japan, but while there are some similarities, they are faint and do not influence the whole Atevi culture. I find many more fresh and new concepts than the tired old Japanese/alien setting.
The Atevi are distinctly different from humans, both in appearance & mentality. The landscapes and associations are foreign, and wholely fascinating.

This second book passed rapidly and was a much more comfortable read. We were stuffed full with enough background/history & political knowledge in 'Foreigner:Bk 1' that we can relax somewhat through 'Invader' and read at a leisurely, and conversley, speedier pace.

There are still the mental dialogues and much concern and second guessing on the paidhi Bren's part, but one has a feel for the writing and is able to skim or skip non relevant paragraphs/pages.

Not the best series to start a Cherryh or sci-fi novice on, try rather the Chanur series, Mri wars, or Morgaine Saga. Leave this for the enthusiasts (like me!)

Kotori ojadis@yahoo.com

Sluggish.......2004-12-28

The quality of this book, versus the first one from this series, is somewhat improved; however, I still found it to be a bit of "work" to get thru at times. Bren (the main character) doesn't second-guess himself as much in this book, but there also isn't as much action as in the first book... lots of political and diplomatic minutia.

One indisputable thing that can be said about the books from this series - they aren't short. 456 paperback pages... and not a quick read, at that.

It looks like I'm going to try to get thru all six books from this series - but it isn't going to happen overnight... there are too many other SciFi series and genres that I find I enjoy more.

At least it looks like there will be more human characters for Bren to interact with in the next book (another human translater from "The Ship" gets sent to live among the atevi)... this should allow Bren to voice his concerns more, rather than mulling things over and over in his own mind... and maybe he'll try to make a move on Jago :)

Even Now There Is Something to Say About This One.......2003-12-26

This series of books is one that I always keep within easy reach. The series has its ups and downs, but this book is a particular favorite because in this book the whole atevi culture and Bren Cameron's place in it starts to gel.

While not action packed and the time period covered by the book is short, a lot happens as Bren makes certain irrevokable decisions that are sure to cause him problems in the future. The Atevi struggle within their culture to come to some resolution as to how they will interact with humans. Bren's personal life shifts from his connection with human family, associates and lover to finding a place within Atevi culture.

While the pace is slow and the writing dense, this allows the reader to start to feel comfortable in the atevi world and to appreciate the complexities of the culture. Cherryh has done a very good job of creating a nonhuman culture that touches on enough points to be comprehensible and even attractive but still alien.

Book Description

The Church is in a season of profound change. The process is sometimes so bewildering and painful that we don't know which way is up or down! Here's a book that separates truth from feelings and explains the elements involved in transition. Its prophetic revelation and deep insight will challenge your "church" mind-sets and give your heart much food for thought. This book is a must-read for all who want to know what is happening in the Church today!

Download Description

The Church is in a season of profound change. The birth pangs of transition are changing the order of 'what is' into a Church that can do the will of God in the midst of a difficult environment. By nature, labor produces a violent change from the old to the new, and it has left some churches broken and bewildered. We must discern between the work of the enemy and the work of the Holy Spirit. In essence, transition forms the rite of passage from one dimension of the Spirit to another. This book details the elements of that changing process.

Everything of Graham's is awesome!!.......2007-07-07

This is another awesome piece by Graham Cooke. When you have read much and listened much, you start to see the subtle little not-yet dealt-with areas in a ministry. Even in the midst of a good anointing. Very few have allowed God to break them such that these are unobservable. For me, Graham is one of these. Always refreshing. Always imputing grace. Truth that builds up. It is not strange that so many love to hear him speak.

What is God's vision for His church? Are we building fancy auditoriums expecting God to do the light-show? Or are we one of those who have made a loving God feel unwelcome in our most holy and honorable services?
Money, titles, offices, positions, head-counts, revenues, building programs, TV cameras..etc...etc..etc
One thing is for sure. If God, who so loves us, that He gave His only begotten Son for us, does not find 'loving Him' as our one and only focus, He will look for someone else who will. And He will find them! But not in us.
Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.
God bless brother Graham Cooke.

Not for the religious or stagnant.......2006-08-01

I could not believe this was written in 1999. Graham is truly a prophet for this season. This work is easy to read and deals with a lot of the churchy junk that has hindered the church in past and today. The confusion one would get is to try to read a work that is written from freedom when the mind is instilled with tradition and religious strongholds. The chapters on transition and character were excellent. I must say Graham has taken his experience and unfolded it apostolically and prophetically to a generation that is tired of being entertained, consoled, compromised, hoodwinked, conned and kept from the simplicity of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Thank you for a message that is refreshing, intriging, mind changing and illuminating.

This book can be life changing!.......2006-02-22

This particular book helped explain so many things that have gone on and are going on in my life. What excitement you can have when you understand the processes of transition and the symptoms! It really allowed me to comprehend moments of confusion and frustration in a positive light. Unbelieveably helpful. Four other friends got the book at the same time and it is a blast to understand what each other is talking about when we discuss the book...

Graham is the real Deal.......2005-12-09

Graham Cooke is a real man of God. He has ups and downs. He has issues just like the rest of us. But he is a prophet. He hears from God and he helps others hear from God.

No matter what format he used for his communication it would be worthwhile for you to read or listen and follow. I have met Graham and he is a great guy and a tremendous man of God.

lack of clarity.......2005-02-05

I have a feeling if I was able to sit down and talk with Graham, I might agree with him more than I think. Unfortunately this book is one of the most poorly written and badly edited pieces of literature that I've seen in a long time. I found a lot of things that are so generically obvious that they shouldn't have taken up the entire chapters that were used to state them, several things that I might agree with if I could get through the lingo-laden, spiritual sales talk enough to understand what he meant, many things that just didn't make since at all not to mention complete contradictions of prior statements within the book, and some things that are outright questionable. He might have some good points in his personal vision, but unfortunately this book is such a mess that none of them are communicated.
