"Literature's most eligible bachelor is back! A treat for Pride and
Prejudice fans, this tells the story from Mr. Darcy's point of
view. Sensitive to the original but lots of fun, this is the tale
behind the alpha male." - Woman magazine
"Absolutely fascinating. Amanda Grange seems to have really got
under Darcy's skin and retells the story, in diary form, with great
feeling and sensitivity." - Historical Novel Society
"Mr. Darcy's Diary is an enjoyable journey into the mind of one of
the most popular characters in literary history . . . a gift to a
new generation of Darcy fans and a treat for existing fans as
well." - www.austenblog.com
"As is proper, Grange doesn't attempt the impossible task of
competing with the Divine Jane, but tells Darcy's story in her own
style, with charm and a gentle wit. While her characters are true
to Austen's creations, a couple of surprises lurk, only adding to
the reader's pleasure. . . Fortunately, there are plenty of
entirely fresh scenes...in which Grange's own humor and warmth
shine, making this an amusing and diverting read for Austen
fans.

"I really didn't want this book to end, as Grange's description of
events following P&P were excellent." - Revisiting the Moon's
Library (revisitingthemoonlibrary.blogspot.com)
" I love this book. It really served to endear Mr. Darcy to me even
further." - hopeistheword.wordpress.com
"Any fans of Pride and Prejudice know half of the path that our
hero and heroine follow to reach each other, but Grange provides a
really intriguing possibility as to what may have been going on in
Darcy's head throughout it all. He's not the only one that we get a
different perspective of-the personalities of Caroline Bingley,
Charles Bingley and Georgiana Darcy are also interesting to see
from another's eyes. Mr. Darcy kept much different company from the
Bennets, for the most part, so it's almost as though an entirely
different story is presented. Much is parallel, but so much is new
as well. " - Epinions.com
"Mr. Darcy's Diary is a nice addition for all who enjoy Jane
Austen's love stories. " - Arizona Daily Sun
