The Last House in Lambton: A Pride & Prejudice Variation by Grace Gibson
5.0
I adored this book!
Written in the first person, it reads like a journal. On top of that - we 2 POVs! Both Elizabeth and then Darcy, alternating.
You would think that might make the story repetitive, but it does not. The author finds a way to keep the new POV, which is covering the same part of the story, fresh.
I love that this Elizabeth is a little vulnerable and at some point allows Darcy to see her vulnerability and what she deems, her failures.
Darcy isn't left wanting, as much as he tells himself he will forget Elizabeth, he just can't and finds himself doing anything he can for her.
That scene in the gallery - broke my heart! It isn't all tears though, there are several giggle out loud scenes (caught me off-guard on a public bus, nothing says loony more than a person giggling to themselves).
Not only is this a reread, it has been added to my paperback list to boot!
18.5.23 Went with the audiobook- instead of the paperback- (and aside from a couple of glitches I am sure will get fixed,) it is well narrated. Neil Mcfarlane was an inspired choice for this Darcy. His more restrained interpretation was the perfect foil for the highly spirited Katherine Anderson
