These Three Remain: A Novel of Fitzwilliam Darcy, Gentleman
Product Description "You could not have made me the offer of your hand in any possible way that would have tempted me to accept it." His proposal of marriage to the lovely, but socially inferior, Elizabeth Bennet thoroughly rejected, Darcy must come to terms with her evaluation of his character and a future without her. Book Three, These Three Remain, recounts Darcy''s painful journey of self-discovery in his quest to become the gentleman he always hoped he would be and the kind of man of whom Elizabeth Bennet would approve. A chance meeting with her during a tour of his estate in Derbyshire offers Darcy a new opportunity, but the activities of his nemesis, George Wickham, interfere once more in a way that may ruin everyone''s hopes for happiness, unless Darcy succeeds in putting his new-found strengths to the test. Setting the story vividly against the colorful, historical, and political background of the Regency, Aidan writes in a style comfortably at home with Jane Austen, but with a wit and humor very much her own. Aidan adds her own cast of fascinating characters to those in Austen''s original, weaving a rich tapestry from Darcy''s past and present. About the Author I grew up just outside Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in small towns scattered over Montgomery County. I graduated from high school with the desire to be a history teacher but eventually earned a Masters in Library and Information Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I have worked as a librarian in a wide variety of settings for thirty-five years, most recently as the director of a new library founded in a fast-growing town in eastern Washington, near my home in Coeur d Alene, Idaho. My husband and I enjoy playing duets (he on guitar or piano and me on the hammered dulcimer) and singing together. We share all of life, especially books, movies, and traveling. He's my best critic and biggest supporter.My readers are a most faithful and supportive group. I am regularly humbled by fan letters expressing how my work has helped them through difficult times as well as the many who convey their delight with what I have done with Austen s characters. Writing, publishing, responding to readers...it has all such an adventure!
