I never understood Mr. Darcy's appeal. 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 subsequently find myself holding the lost first version of Pride and Prejudice. Titled First Impressions, the manuscript in my hands is the very one scholars believe was probably destroyed long ago, but as I read the first draft, written in Austen's own handwriting, I discover a long-hidden secret about the iconic Darcy, as well as the truth about her struggle to understand what it takes to create a man worthy of her heroine.When a tall, dark stranger crosses my path in real life, will I suddenly discover my inner Lizzie Bennett? Then Neil's unexpected arrival in England complicates my own journey to figuring out who is the hero to my heroine. A mysterious woman urges me to turn the manuscript over to her for safekeeping, but I don't know who I can trust. Why is everyone suddenly wanting to talk Darcy to me? Talk Darcy to Me is the story of how I learn that falling in love is the biggest adventure of all and that a true hero can appear in both the most unexpected and the most familiar places.
