This took place 1814. Gave this kisses-only story 3.5 stars. I liked the pencil sketches
contained therein.
This had a cliff-hanger!
Georgiana was shy. She liked to play the pianoforte, to sing and to sketch. She expressed
herself best in her diary. She lived w/ older brother Fitzwilliam Darcy & his wife Elizabeth,
married x 1yr. Lady Catherine de Bourgh, Darcy's aunt, asked the couple to host a house
party for 18 YO Georgiana to meet possible suitors. Catherine and her illness-prone (?)
daughter Anne were invited, as was Caroline Bingley, sister of Elizabeth's BIL.
Georgiana was not attracted to the suitors, one insulted her and left in a huff. She loved
her 1st cousin, Edward, a brave army man. She heard from letters others received and
who shared updates: that Edward became engaged and he received a war injury.
Unknown to others, he had nightmares about war. Darcy and Edward served as her co-
guardians. She had a 30 K/ pounds dowry which attracted fortune-hunters.
Edward returned to Pemberly. A French aristo visited- trustworthy? Georgiana helped 28
YO Anne find herself. Lady Catherine controlled Anne too much. Georgiana said in her diary
"Aunt Catherine ordered the world to her own specifications." With time, Georgiana became
more assertive. Edward followed Georgianna around and lectured her on propriety. At times
it was hard to believe he was in love. But he was a solidly good man, who punched someone
by mistake. A bad man from Georgiana's past re-surfaced: why?
I had mixed feelings about this story. Since age 6, Georgiana loved Edward-really? The MCs
professed their love and agreed to wed in 1 year.
