Jane Austen's classic novel Pride and Prejudice is beloved
by millions, but little is revealed in the book about the
mysterious and handsome hero, Mr. Darcy. And so the question
has long remained: Who is Fitzwilliam Darcy? Pamela Aidan's trilogy finally answers that long-standing
question, creating a rich parallel story that follows Darcy
as he meets and falls in love with Elizabeth Bennet. Duty
and Desire, the second book in the trilogy, covers the
"silent time" of Austen's novel, revealing Darcy's private
struggle to overcome his attraction to Elizabeth while
fulfilling his roles as landlord, master, brother, and friend. When Darcy pays a visit to an old classmate in Oxford in an
attempt to shake Elizabeth from his mind, he is set upon by
husband-hunting society ladies and ne'er-do-well friends
from his university days, all with designs on him -- some
for good and some for ill. He and his sartorial genius of a
valet, Fletcher, must match wits with them all, but
especially with the curious Lady Sylvanie. Irresistibly authentic and entertaining, Duty and Desire
remains true to the spirit and events of Pride and Prejudice
while incorporating fascinating new characters, and is sure
to dazzle Austen fans and newcomers alike.
