Description
Mr. Darcy's younger sister searches for her own happily-ever-after... The year is 1814, and it is springtime at Pemberley. Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy have married. But now a new romance is in the air, along with high fashion, elegant manners, scandal, deception, and the wonderful hope of a true and lasting love. Shy Georgiana Darcy has been content to remain unmarried, living with her brother and his new bride. But Elizabeth and Darcy's fairy-tale love reminds Georgiana daily that she has found no true love of her own. And perhaps never will, for she is convinced the one man she secretly cares for will never love her in return. Georgiana's domineering aunt, Lady Catherine de Bourgh, has determined that Georgiana shall marry, and has a list of eligible bachelors in mind. But which of the suitors are sincere, and which are merely interested in Georgiana's fortune? Georgiana must learn to trust her heart-and rely on her courage-for she also faces the return of the man who could ruin her reputation and spoil a happy ending, just when it finally lies within her grasp. Georgiana Darcy's Diary is Volume 1 of the Pride and Prejudice Chronicles and is appropriate for all ages.… (more)

In the course of the novel, Georgiana develops a spine and even helps her cousin Anne de Bourgh to find one as well. And, of course, there is a happy ending for all.
The author's forward informs us that she chose the diary form as she had no intention of trying to replicate Austen's style, and that worked fairly well. While I can't say that I'll be rushing out to buy the rest of the series, I'll keep it in mind the next time I need a little fluff in my life.
A sweet, slow-paced tale. Nothing particularly new happens in this story, but it also stayed pretty true to the existing characters, unlike a deplorable number of other Austen-spin-offs. I wasn't caught up, however, and feel no real urge to read further into this series.
