by Pamela AidanThe first installment in Pamela Aidan&’s irresistible trilogy, An Assembly Such As This takes us into the world of Jane Austen&’s Fitzwilliam Darcy.&“She is tolerable; but not handsome enough to tempt me.&” So begins the timeless romance of Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice.

In this first book of her Fitzwilliam Darcy, Gentleman trilogy, she reintroduces us to Darcy during his visit to Hertfordshire with his friend Charles Bingley and reveals Darcy's hidden perspective on the events of Pride and Prejudice.

Setting the story vividly against the colorful historical and political background of the Regency, Aidan writes in a style comfortably at home with 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.
