Anna Elliott's second foray into the world of Jane Austen is even more delightful and entertaining than the first. In traveling from Pemberley to Brussels, Georgiana traverses far more than the distance between the two countries. In fact, Georgiana grows up. I was enchanted with this book from the first page. Elliott's sure hand and extensive knowledge of the period provides just enough framework to ground the reader in Jane Austen's world, but with Elliott's own definitive touch. Highly recommended.

OK, to be honest, I've not yet read Jane Austen's books - yet. I have watched and loved the movies however. While this is focused on Georgiana from "Pride and Prejudice", it does a good job of standing on its own. I was pleased to find that it didn't try to copy Jane Austen's style and yet still had that same flavor. This was such a good story with good character development; it made me feel like I was reading Georgiana's journal. I enjoyed the artwork included too.

The only negative comment is that it does tend to repeat what is happening but for the most part it wasn't an issue.

I recommend this to any Jane Austen fan or anyone who likes a good love story. Don't start reading it though, unless you have time to finish - I had to finish before going to bed and getting up the next day was tough.

FYI: there was only kissing - as there should be for any of "Pride and Prejudice" romance.

This wonderfully written diary of Georgiana Darcy was amazing. I can picture and hear her voice very clearly. Ms Elliot story is told through georgiana's diary and from her point of view. This story is a continuation of P&P and starts out about 2 yrs after P&P. Georginana is bethrothed to col Fitzwilliam and before they can get married, Napolean escapes Alba and col F is thrust back into battle(he was working for Wellington at the time). The road to happiness is long and full of the unknown. Wonderful journey. Characters were true and believable. We see Darcy and Elizabeth early in the book before Napolean. Lots of real life stiff going on and we see it all through georgiana's eyes. Also there are lovely drawings that dipict scenes that are wonderful extras. This 2nd book from Georgina's POV is a definite read for all the Jane Austen fans. Absolutely loved it. If you've not read the first book you should and than read this. also this writer has another book coming out soon from Kitty" diary!!
