Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

The exciting conclusion to the Fitzwilliam Darcy, Gentleman trilogy recounts the climactic events of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice from its enigmatic hero's point of view. One of the most beloved romantic heroes in all of literature, Fitzwilliam Darcy remains an enigma even to Jane Austen's most devoted fans. No longer. With this concluding volume in the Fitzwilliam Darcy, Gentleman trilogy, novelist and Austen aficionada Pamela Aidan at last gives readers the man in full. These Three Remain follows a humbled Darcy on the journey of self-discovery, after Elizabeth Bennet's rejection of his marriage proposal, in which he endeavors to grow into the kind of gentleman he desires to become. Happily, a chance meeting with Elizabeth during a tour of his estate in Derbyshire offers Darcy a new opportunity to press his suit, but his newfound strengths are put to the test by an old nemesis, George Wickham. Vividly capturing the colorful historical and political milieu of the Regency era, Aidan writes in a style evocative of her literary progenitor, but with a wit and humor very much her own. While staying faithful to the people and events in Austen's original, she adds her own fascinating cast of characters, weaving a rich tapestry out of Darcy's past and present that will beguile his admirers anew.

    This is the third part in a series by the author of Mr. Darcy's side of the Pride and Prejudice story. This was my favorite of the three. I found the author's notion that Mr. Darcy realized from Elizabeth's scathing rejection of his proposal that he did in fact have character flaws that he needed to work on. That he made a conscious effort to improve himself is not something I had considered in my previous readings of P&P.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and the whole series and find myself wishing for a follow up, telling the story of Dy and Miss Darcy.
