Part 2 of Intimacy in Austen's work -- focusing on Mr. Darcy

How Austen Shows Darcy’s Feelings
Readers often imagine Darcy brooding in corners and staring longingly across rooms -- but that imagery comes from adaptations, not the novel. Austen does not describe Darcy’s “smouldering gaze,” nor his hands clenching in passion. What she gives us instead is far more subtle and precise: speech, behaviour, and narrated attention.
If we closely examine Pride and Prej Read more of this blog post »

Kinga Brady My first novel, ‘Dear Sir,’ is a Pride and Prejudice variation that was born from a lingering idea in my mind. As I put pen to paper, the story and characters took on a life of their own, evolving into a book that I humbly offer for your entertainment. While it may shock purist fans of the original, I assure you that Elizabeth's journey leads to a satisfying conclusion.
My second book, ‘More Discerning,’ is a testament to my continued love for Austen’s world, with Elizabeth at its heart. As I wrote, the characters responded to the differences in Jane and Elizabeth, evolving in unexpected ways. I am eagerly anticipating sharing these surprises with you, my readers.
My third book’s idea also has been with me for a long time. It bothered me that our couple always met by accident. I wanted to create a Darcy who goes after Elizabeth. Now the novel is finished and is called ‘Passion and Persistence.’ I hope you will like it.
I have created information websites for all three books that will help you better imagine the world of the novels. The links are on the first pages.
I hope my reimaginings of Austen’s stories will provide you with a unique and enjoyable reading experience.
