What a talent Mr Caldwell has! He's created this universe of characters in his "Jane Austen's Fighting Men" series, some of them new, some of them from Jane Austen's works, and made them all memorable. Not only that, but a few of the black sheep characters from Austen's novels have been granted a redemption through these stories. This book is mainly focused on our favorite couple, Darcy and Elizabeth, and takes up their story about five years into their marriage. Georgiana has fallen in love, and Darcy must reconcile himself to giving up his only sibling, a girl he's been both brother and father to for so many years.
This story is not strictly about "fighting men," but some of the characters from previous books in the series are woven in. Georgiana gets engaged, Elizabeth is pregnant with her second child, the future in-laws must be met and dealt with, the extended family all want to have their part in planning the wedding, and Pemberly is having a bad year financially. But first, on top of all this, Elizabeth's youngest sister Lydia, now a widow with three small children, decides to remarry and move to India with her husband, leaving her young children behind in England. The Darcys take the oldest, a girl, and also the most loud and troublesome like her mother. It makes for many challenging situations.
This book will make you fall in love with Elizabeth and Darcy all over again. The story is about family, and about accepting them for good or ill. It's about how the problems pile up for Darcy, and how Elizabeth is his port in any storm. Whenever the world seems overwhelming to them, they always turn to each other for their salvation. This is a Darcy and Lizzy story, and the romance is lovely.
The book is well written and well edited. It's heartbreaking and heartwarming. The letter at the end from Georgiana to Darcy practically had me bawling. I would strongly suggest that you read the previous books in this series. Not only are they all wonderful, but this book will make more sense if you do. I recommend it highly.
