Capturing Jane Austen's voice, Carol Cromlin colours in the silhouette of the extraordinarily complex Mr. Darcy. Fitzwilliam Darcy is arguably the best known, most charismatic hero Jane Austen ever created but he is also the most unfathomable. Who exactly was Mr. Darcy? What principles guided him? What desires drove him? How did he come to be the character Austen, so vividly, portrayed? Cromlin persuasively answers these questions in her newly released historical novel, Fitzwilliam Darcy, such I was. Weaving a compelling tale of the joys and sorrows of his first three decades, she provides the first comprehensive, biographical sketch, of literature's most famous leading man. A poignant tale, it will sometimes bring on laughter; sometimes tears.
