Buenos días, arrebatadores :o) Hace poco he descubierto una serie de relatos, o novellas, basadas en Orgullo y Prejuicio, de Jane Austen. Ver esas portadas tan tiernotas me puso una sonrisa en la cara, así que me he animado a leer una de ellas: Miss Darcy Decides, de Reina M. Williams.
Cuenta el romance entre la hermana de Darcy, Georgiana, y
Camden, un hombre que perdió su razón de vivir y se dedicó a despilfarrar su
vida. Ahora, más sabio y ansioso por recuperar la felicidad, trata de
redimirse. Vuelve a su hogar para recoger el legado de su padre y honrarlo.
Aunque conocer a Georgiana le hace desear cortejarla y atesorar su amor. Sin
embargo, está plagado de dudas por su pasado y su reputación. Dudas que
Georgiana comparte porque ya tuvo un encontronazo con un sinvergüenza en su
juventud y no quiere repetir la experiencia. Teme también arriesgar su hogar y
su vida actual por un futuro incierto.
El romance, tan dulce y elegante como la prosa de la autora,
se desarrolla con exquisita lentitud, en pugna contra las dudas de los
protagonistas y la oposición de Darcy, pues teme que su hermana caiga en malas
manos de nuevo.
Es un relato muy optimista, tierno, deliciosamente evocador
de las costumbres y personajes de Orgullo y Prejuicio, que resulta perfecto
para leer en Navidades cuando te apetece conectar con el aspecto cálido y
doméstico de las relaciones.

My opinion of Miss Darcy Decides
MISS DARCY
DECIDES is a pretty little bundle of period romance and sweet elegance. It
echoes of well-known and dear names like Darcy, Lizzy, even poor Wickham.
However, it's time to tell Georgiana's story. Hers is a tale of past lessons,
of treasured friendships and emotional growth, but also of longing for the most
tender of passions: love.
She might
have encountered a fellow spirit in Camden, a man with a past who's also on the
lookout for warmth and comfort for his lonely, repentant soul. What develops
between them is tender, hopeful, and also filled with doubts.
With a clean,
elegant writing style, the author draws characters driven by their need of
companionship and redemption. Also, the customs and manners of that period are
nicely evoked.
I enjoyed
reading about life at Pemberly. It was nice and endearing to know what life was
like for Lizzy and Fitzpatrick after they got married. As to Camden, he's a
changed man, ready for a life of fulfillment and meaning. He has much to prove
for he was a reckless man and as such finds opposition from honour-bound Mr.
Darcy. Gaining a cautious woman's trust is not as easy as uttering of few words
though. He must accomplish what he's promising with deeds, or Georgiana won't
forsake her family and home for an unsure future.

Among new friends and with new confidence, Mary opens to new feelings when she meets Mr. Nathaniel Bingley.
Nathaniel Bingley, at the insistence of his cousin Charles Bingley, finds himself at Pemberley. After Nathaniel's years in the West Indies studying its intense flora, he is ready to seclude himself to compile his work into a book. But Nathaniel could not say no to Charles, who was one of Nathaniel's few kind relatives after the deaths of his beloved parents.

La verdad es que no conocía estos relatos y eso que amo Orgullo y Prejuicio.
Los que más me llaman son el de Kitty y Mary, siempre quise saber que sucedía con las hermanas menores de Lizzy.
Debo leerlo *^*!!!!!!
Saludos n_n
Considerando lo fan que soy de Jane, esto me llama muchísimo, y casi no sabía nada del tema. Voy a ver un poco más al respecto, me tienta un montón :)
Besos.
Ay, no, no puedo con este tipo de secuelas (y eso que piqué con "La muerte llega a Pemberley")... soy "austeniana" hasta la médula, pero es Austen quien me fascina.
Suerte con el sorteo.
