I stumbled onto these two books (The Other Mr. Darcy) and The Darcy Cousins recently and purchased them as used books to check out the author and this new adventure for my favorite characters. I was not disappointed. The Darcy Cousins was a cute, light-hearted look at the angst of young ladies moving into society in their first "season". Along with the sweet, shy Georgiana Darcy (Fitzwilliam's sister) we find Clarissa Darcy (Robert, the Other Mr. Darcy) sister. Clarissa is from Boston, MA and has arrived on the scene quite unexpectedly... It would be good to read The Other Mr. Darcy first to get some background on these American cousins of our Darcy. I enjoyed the look at society from the eyes of these young women and Monica did a great job of showing the effects of English vs American upbringing. Though the American Darcy cousins were raised in America's first society, they were indeed different and brought Georgiana out of her shell. The friendship between these two young ladies was really more like sisters (Jane and Lizzy) and you might say the two personalities were similar to those two ladies. However, I must say that Georgie and Clarissa seem destined to get into more "situations" than Jane and Lizzy did. I always enjoy books that develop Georgiana's character and we get to watch her grow up. Of course, Jane Austen left all of this to our own imagination, but I enjoy it when authors put their thoughts into good books.

Thanks Monica for a very good read and thanks for continuing the story out into two books to really develop the two families, their interactions and their future. I really prefer more character development and family history than the shorter materials being published these days (2015).

The Darcy Cousins Monica Fairview 0760789227646 Books Reviews

I read this book after first reading and LOVING this author's other novel "The Other Mr Darcy". Since I loved that one so much I decided to give this one a try and was not disappointed. I won't recap the book because you can read the book description yourself. However, I can share why I really enjoyed this novel. I found this "sequel" to Pride and Prejudice to be an enjoyable read which further developed my interest and love of some of the more minor characters from the original P&P novel. I would think it would be difficult to write a follow-up novel to such a famous classic novel. Yet the author did so beautifully, keeping the story accurate for the time period and in line with the feel of an Austen book, but without sounding like a copy cat only. Very enjoyable and highly recommended if you are a fan of this genre.
While this was not quite as satisfying as 'The Other Darcy', it could be that my heart lies with Fitz and Elizabeth and it's they who I really love to read about. But, given that, this is a delightful book; a typical comedy of errors that would be great on stage, where we witness the girlish behavior of two 17 year olds, Georgianna, Darcy's beloved sister, and their cousin Clarissa. The story starts out at Rosings where the Darcy family and cousins are staying for six weeks (imagine the horror of it!) with the all-superior Lady Catherine and her poor 'imprisoned' daughter Anne; oh and we again meet the odious Mr. Collins who is at his oooozing best! The story takes off from there where boy sees girl, girl sees another boy, girl overhears both boys (recall Darcy behind the pillar?), the season...and the fabulous scrapes into which the girls tumble. This author really captures the essence of the times, as well as our much loved Jane, while at the same time telling a story that is as old as time. I look forward to more of Monica Fairviews tales; hopefully again engaging the Darcy's and the Bennets.
WOW! This book is amazing. Well written, love, suspense, interesting and involved Georgiana and the Darcy cousin, Clarissa, from Boston. Shy Georgiana tries to emulate her cousin Clarissa and it doesn't go so well for her. Surprises arise, mischief happens and trouble come their way.
Aunt Catherine is her usual self, Colonel Fitzwilliam, my favorite character, in many of the novels, is not involved too much in this one. Cousin Anne is the one who surprises everyone in this novel and I won't spoil it for the readers you will really be surprised in the end.
Words can not explain how greatful I am that I read this wonderful book. It has it's twists and turns but keeps you interested the whole time. I could not put the book down. It is hard for me to give a book 5 stars but thiis one does deserve 6.
I didn't enjoy this second Pride and Prejudice sequel by Monica Fairview, which features Georgiana, Mr. Darcy's shy, somewhat reserved and much younger sister, as she prepares to make her debut in society, as much as the first. Because Georgiana needs to break out of her shell there is sometimes a tendency for her to be a little churlish and her love interest, while convincingly perfect for her in the end, is not as charming as last book's Robert Darcy, Mr. Darcy's American cousin. Still, this book has many wonderful aspects. Both Robert Darcy and his bride Louisa Bingley are back from the first sequel along with Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy who are enjoying being new parents. Much of the action is set at Rosings Park where Lady Catherine De Bourgh is up to her old tricks trying to manipulate everybody, including her daughter Anne who finally makes her own satisfying bid for freedom. Mr. Collins is as ridiculously obsequious as ever and Colonel Fitzwilliam is ever helpful and polite, even when he's more than once put on the spot. New characters play some of the most important roles, including Clarissa Darcy, another Darcy American cousin, whose lively, unconventional style attracts the men to such an extent that Georgiana develops a plan to try to emulate her. Monica Fairview's characterizations consistently ring true for me and she's created a very complete and appealing P and P sequel world. I look forward to reading any new books she writes in this series.
