I don't want to speak too soon but I hope that there are enough hints for the reader to extrapolate what Darcy is thinking even when he is being at his most infuriating:-) thanks for commenting, JenettaJenettaJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01953881153404231140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490719723329221506.post-8958681590090181332015-04-30T12:34:45.860-07:002015-04-30T12:34:45.860-07:00That is a good point - it is a popular conceit wit...That is a good point - it is a popular conceit without that many examples - I hope that people are enjoying this one...<br />I am going to give away my age & say that when P&P was first aired in 1995 I was 13 & my best friend and I tried to read ahead i.e we tried (with limited success) to read just ahead of watching - so I guess inevitably my idea of the characters - including what they look like is influenced by that particular adaptation. I am sure that other adaptations are great too & I am open minded about the others but yes, I think that the actors and characters from that particular adaptation definitely play a role in my head. <br />Thanks for commenting & asking the question - it is interesting for me to think about it. <br />JenettaJenettaJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01953881153404231140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490719723329221506.post-40780382087927418492015-04-30T12:30:10.072-07:002015-04-30T12:30:10.072-07:00I hope that you enjoy this one & thanks for co...I hope that you enjoy this one & thanks for commenting, JenettaJenettaJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01953881153404231140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490719723329221506.post-39218005657512417282015-04-30T12:29:31.913-07:002015-04-30T12:29:31.913-07:00Hope that you enjoy it Regina, thank you for comme...Hope that you enjoy it Regina, thank you for commenting:-) JenettaJenettaJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01953881153404231140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490719723329221506.post-82376983229281396262015-04-30T03:41:27.869-07:002015-04-30T03:41:27.869-07:00I'm like you Tamara - I love it when we get Da...I'm like you Tamara - I love it when we get Darcy's POV and we know what he's thinking. Maybe Jenetta will write us some outtakes from Darcy's POV. A lot of authors are doing that in their blogs/websites these days which is great. I've read a lot of reviews from people saying they haven't been able to put this book down once they start reading so I'm going to have to plan a day out soon to read it!

I certainly would wish more!:) Thank you for interesting and comprehensive review, Tamara.<br />I also wanted to ask Jenetta whether she has favourite TV adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. In one of her posts, she mentioned 1995 mini-series, so I was wondering whether Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle are those models used by the author in imagining her story.oloorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13570265161694455143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490719723329221506.post-28464648324500117302015-04-29T22:09:58.045-07:002015-04-29T22:09:58.045-07:00I look forward to my turn reading it.
