Review: WRONG TIMELINE FOR THIS BOOK
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 04 10, 2014
I enjoyed the book a lot.  That being said, it was not in keeping with the timeline of Pride and Prejudice. Putting the story in 1803 would mean that Elizabeth was no older than twelve and Darcy not yet twenty.  Also, Darcy is reading Lord Byron's poems to Elizabeth in France, but in 1803 Lord Byron was just turning fifteen years old.  On one occasion she has Elizabeth with blue eyes and another time they are brown.  There are other examples of sentences with repeated or left out words.  The author has the hostilities between England and France nearly on target - the war started on 18 May 1803, but she had Darcy arriving in France during the summer, so the war was already on.The author should have kept to the proper timeline.  Why use 1803 when she could have written it about the correct  time? I should have given the book a 5 star rating if not for these issues.I have read many reviews but these
