Darcy and the Twins by Don H. Miller
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

In this Pride and Prejudice variation, because of an accident on Pemberly grounds Elizabeth is forced to stay, and Kitty comes to join her and stays as one of the Darcy Twins. There are three different and separate pov - Darcy, Catherine Bennet and Georgiana Darcy. A story of Kitty and Georgiana (who really are not that interesting) with the ever so perfect Elizabeth which does get somewhat boring. Unfortunately no bad characters like Caroline Bingley to counterbalance all that goodness..
Overall an enjoyable story. A re-read just to see if i would ever read it again

In this Pride and Prejudice sequel several years have passed since the marriages of Elizabeth and Jane. With Mary as the last of the Bennet sisters still at home, she is determined to become a governess or companion. Then she is invited to Pemberley, her first ever visit.

A delightful story, well-written, lovely to read about Mary's emotional development. Just loved everything about the story and the characters.
An entertaining re-read, again. And again.
