Mr. Darcy Goes Overboard: A Tale Of Tide & Prejudice (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
this modern P&P was a little nonsensical. It was done with tongue in cheek, but I found it hard to take. I like a good laugh but this story didn't make sense in parts. I cringed too many times to count. Breaking a leg and in traction then in the next scene at the water???? Just didn't make much sense and though the story was suppose to be light and funny, I found it quite jarring. Maybe I just don't understand English humor. sorry, thought it was a waste of my time. What a fantastic book! As a passionate fan of Pride and Prejudice, I am usually furious at the how badly Jane's wonderful world of Bennets and Darcys is treated by modern authors. HOWEVER, this book stands out as a real exception! In a blissful English seaside setting, this modern world of Austen's classic is written with intelligence, insight and, most importantly of all, wit! Belinda Roberts clearly appreciates the brilliance of Austen. This is no feeble follow-on but a wonderfully entertaining version that will charm any Austen fan who has a good sense of humour! If you are going to buy any Pride and Prejudice related novels, this is the one! Thank you Belinda for providing such a fresh, exciting interpretation of Austen's classic.

Very cute! I hope the author writes some more modern versions of Austen novels. Maybe Emma?

This is a funny satire for those who can appreciate a send-up of Jane Austen's famous tale.
