Product Description:
"I had not known you a month before I felt that you were the last man in the world whom I could ever be prevailed on to marry." Elizabeth Bennet's furious response to Mr. Darcy's marriage proposal in Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice has resonated for generations of readers. But what if she never had a chance to say it? Would she learn to recognize Mr. Darcy's admirable qualities on her own? The Last Man in the World follows Elizabeth and Darcy as they struggle to find their way through the maze of their prejudices after Elizabeth, against her better judgment, agrees to marry Darcy instead of saying those famous words. Two of the most beloved characters in English literature explore the meaning of true love on a tumultuous journey to make a success of their marriage. THE PEMBERLEY VARIATIONS by Abigail Reynolds is a series of novels exploring the roads not taken in Pride & Prejudice.

I'll keep this short and sweet. I have a Ph.D. in English Language and Literature from a very reputable university (not-for-profit, over a century old). When I entered the graduate school there, the chairman of the department was a Jane Austen scholar. I have read and reread all of Austen's novels. I've watched ALL the movie versions and berated them for their failings. I am convinced that Jane Austen is one of the five greatest writers of all time.
And I enjoyed this book. It's the ... Read More

Although it probably deserves 2 stars, I gave this 3 stars because I did finish it and because I have read more than one of the Abigail Reynolds books that follow Elizabeth and Darcy down new paths. However, no one should be under the impression that these books are great literature or that they will truly fulfill your Jane Austen cravings.
I'm not a prude but the intimate scenes between Darcy and Elizabeth are truly unbelievable (not to mention repetitive) and put them on a level ... Read More

This variation offers a classic twist. It is a theme encompassed in older novels, of a wife unwillingly married falling in love with her own husband. The misunderstandings of Darcy and Elizabeth are drawn forth after their wedding, and once Elizabeth realizes how wrong she was, an awful twist of fate brings her to the conclusion that she loves him dearly. I highly recommend this read, as it gives a refreshing new look at what might have happened if...Lots of passionate details about Darcy and Elizabeth ... Read More

This story bears no resemblance to Pride and Prejudice, nor to Miss Austen's characters. Many fan fiction writers write the stories they want to write and merely name the characters from the canon. That is what this author has done. Fitzwilliam Darcy would never act in the fashion that the male protagonist (and I use the term lightly) acts. Elizabeth Darcy, nee Bennet, is not a spineless jellyfish, nor would the character, as written by Austen, fall in love with the man to whom she is married.

This story was okay. It read like a typical romance novel. Don't expect this to be anything like Pride & Prejudice.
