“Mr. Darcy Broke My Heart” by Beth Pattillo
When Claire Prescott attends a Pride and Prejudice seminar in Oxford England on behalf of her sister, the recently unemployed woman with a GED leaves behind an uneventful life and less than thrilling boyfriend for the opportunity to be anyone she wants for just one week. “Mr. Darcy Broke My Heart” makes us ponder the makings of a true hero and what we value about our own morals and beliefs when confronted with the most awkward of situations.
With a gift of lighting up our imagination, Beth Pattillo has weaved her own Jane Austen style writings of missing Pride and Prejudice manuscripts into a patchwork of romance and mystery that highlights her thorough knowledge of Jane Austen’s life and works. A pleasure to read!
