Summary
Darcy and Fitzwilliam is the continuing story of Fitzwilliam Darcy and Colonel Richard Fitzwilliam from Jane Austen’s wonderful novel Pride and Prejudice.
The two men are cousins, best friends and fierce competitors although their personalities are polar opposites. Where Darcy is a powerful landowner, wealthy, handsome, reserved, haughty, and meticulous, his older cousin Richard Fitzwilliam is an Army Colonel, a second son with no personal funds, affable, vivacious and a bit careless in his appearance.
Both men find their ultimate paths in life overlapping as they become entangled with the women they love, elopements, a small child, and the indomitable Lady Catherine de Bourgh. (From the publisher.)
