Too sullen and broody for me. I'm happy dating Neil, a nice, normal guy. A nice, normal, sports-obsessed guy. When I agree to stand in for my sister at a Jane Austen seminar at Oxford University, I meet a peculiar older woman and soon find myself holding the lost first version of \u003cem\u003ePride and Prejudice\u003c\/em\u003e. Entitled \u003cem\u003eFirst Impressions\u003c\/em\u003e, the manuscript in my hands is the one many scholars believe was destroyed long ago. As I read the first draft, written in Austen's own handwriting, I learn a secret about the iconic Darcy, as well as the truth about Jane Austen's struggle to understand what it takes to create a man worthy of her heroine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eIs this my Darcy?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen a tall, dark stranger crosses my path in real life, will I suddenly discover my inner Lizzie Bennett?
