Books like The Private Diary of Mr. Darcy by Maya Slater
Literature's most famous hero, Mr. Darcy, opens his diary to disclose a complex, passionate inner world. Off-stage events barely mentioned in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice are revealed, and many surprising new facts come to light. Mr. Darcy's daily life as a society gentleman in Georgian London is described, along with his dangerous friendship with Lord Byron. He tells the full story of his sister's infatuation with the dastardly Wickham. Most importantly, he describes how he gradually falls in love with Elizabeth Bennet, and, in the process, painfully gains self-knowledge.
