Pamela Aidan : These Three Remain: A Novel of Fitzwilliam Darcy, Gentleman before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised These Three Remain: A Novel of Fitzwilliam Darcy, Gentleman:

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Surprising, well written, page turner!!By J. MorganIf you are a fan of JAFF this series (Fitzwilliam Darcy, Gentleman) is so good. I read all three books over a three day weekend. I couldn't put them down! I've read other fan fiction that barely delves into what Mr Darcy is thinking during his personal transformation away from Elizabeth, and they don't come close to this series.When I saw that there were three books in this series, I wondered how one earth there was going to be enough plot to fill up two more books than 's . I was blown away by the depth that the author wrote with. She is an incredible story teller, and the second book could be a stand alone story with how incredible her writing is.When I first purchased this set from the cheapest seller I could find, I thought I would resell them, but now that I've read them, I'm keeping them to read again in a year or two when I've forgotten all of the twists and turns. So good!218 of 220 people found the following review helpful. A peek inside Darcy's journey of self-discoveryBy MMI have been awaiting the release of this book -- the third in the trilogy -- and it did not disappoint! These Three Remain covers the period from Darcy's reacquaintance with Elizabeth at Hunsford/Rosings through their eventual engagement and marriage. As one of the wealthiest and most eligible bachelors in England, it never occurs to Darcy that his attentions to Elizabeth will not be welcome. He usually has to fend off women who are interested in him for all the wrong reasons. Her refusal of his proposal stuns and shakes him to the core sending him on a journey of self-discovery that changes the way he looks at himself and his world. It causes him to reexamine his relationships with those closest to him, especially his sister, Georgiana, and his friend, Bingley. With no expectation of ever seeing Elizabeth again, let alone winning her heart, he determines to become a different man, one who would be worthy of Elizabeth's good opinion. As we all know, he has the opportunity to see Elizabeth again when she and her aunt and uncle visit . When he saves her sister, Lydia, from ruin, he does not want Elizabeth to know lest she feel some obligation to him. If he is to win her heart, it must be because she sees the changes in him for herself. I found it fascinating to watch how Darcy's love of Elizabeth matures and goes from being centered on his own needs to being focused on her. I highly recommend this book if you love the romance of Elizabeth and Darcy. It fills in some very rich details about these characters we love so well and helps us to see them with fresh eyes.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. The fascinating conclusion of a truly remarkable trilogy.By J. LesleyEven after admitting that the second book in this trilogy was not quite as strong and interesting for me as I would have hoped, I still maintain that the series as a whole is the best Pride and Prejudice re-telling I've read.Pamela Aidan had so much material to work with in this third book and I thoroughly enjoyed her version of the events as told from Fitzwilliam Darcy's standpoint. The first time I read this series I was intrigued by the title of this, the final segment. It turns out that it is taken from a verse in the Bible: And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. I Corinthians 13:13This book begins with the journey of Darcy and his cousin, Colonel Fitzwilliam, making their annual Easter pilgrimage to Rosings to look over the business interests of . At this point Darcy has not had any interaction with since the Netherfield ball but she has been almost constantly on his mind. Ms. Aidan had Darcy engage in some rather unpleasant times during the second segment of this trilogy and I'm glad to say that is all behind him and he has returned to being more of the Darcy I like. There is a character written into this series which I really enjoyed, that of Darcy's University friend and rival Lord Dyfed Brougham. Dy, as he is referred to by Darcy, plays a very shadowy part in helping Darcy navigate the sinister happenings in "" and once again appears in this book. Lord Brougham's interest in Georgiana is also a continuing theme throughout the three books and I sincerely wish that plot thread could have been continued - perhaps even in another book concentrating on Georgiana.After the disaster of Darcy proposing marriage to Elizabeth this book really concentrates on the aspects of Darcy's personality which caused Elizabeth to turn his proposal down. His personality takes a long, realistic time to transition from a self-centered, selfish individual into the man Elizabeth could love. I especially appreciated all the details Ms. Aidan contrived to show how Darcy went about finding Wickham and Lydia and how much he sacrificed in order to solve their problems. With all of his actions being done to honor Elizabeth and the entire . Gone was the Darcy who only thought about how every situation would reflect upon himself and his heritage. In that place was a man who had compassion, sympathy and love enough for others to want to make their lives easier. In order to help the Bennet's he was willing to put his personal animosity toward Wichkam in the background. He saw what was the right thing to do and then he did it. Marvelous character depiction by Ms. Aidan.I highly recommend these expansions of the Pride and Prejudice story. Even though I feel that Ms. Aidan fell slightly off the rails with the second book, I still love to put everything else aside and totally immerse myself in this trilogy to see these characters from different vantage points. Any reading list of Pride and Prejudice variations will not be complete without including "An Assembly Such As This", "Duty and Desire", and "These Three Remain".

"You could not have made me the offer of your hand in any possible way that would have tempted me to accept it."His proposal of marriage to the lovely, but socially inferior, Elizabeth Bennet thoroughly rejected, Darcy must come to terms with her evaluation of his character and a future without her.Book Three, These Three Remain, recounts Darcy's painful journey of self-discovery in his quest to become the gentleman he always hoped he would be and the kind of man of whom Elizabeth Bennet would approve.A chance meeting with her during a tour of his estate in Derbyshire offers Darcy a new opportunity, but the activities of his nemesis, , interfere once more in a way that may ruin everyone's hopes for happiness, unless Darcy succeeds in putting his new-found strengths to the test.Setting the story vividly against the colorful, historical, and political background of the Regency, Aidan writes in a style comfortably at home with Jane 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.

From Publishers WeeklyThe storied romance of Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet (they of Pride and Prejudice) reaches its conclusion in the strongest entry in an already impressive trilogy. While visiting his aunt's estate, Fitzwilliam continues alternately courting his beloved Elizabeth and trying to crimp his longing for her. ("Although the sunlight did marvelous things with her hair, chestnut curls and velvety brown eyes were not in fashion," he notes.) He finally musters his courage and, in an arrogant, bumbling way, proposes marriage. He returns to London in defeat, but realizes, after some time and distance, that her rejection has provided him with "the opportunity to become a better man." Months later, a fortuitous meeting with Elizabeth offers them the chance to renew their friendship and for Fitzwilliam to prove he has changed for the better. But just as Fitzwilliam is making headway, George Wickham, his smarmy nemesis, appears and threatens to undo everything. As ever, Aidan keeps her narrative taut and her characters conflicted. Fans of the series won't be disappointed; the uninitiated will be hooked. (Jan.) Copyright copy; Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.From BooklistThe third in Aidan's originally self-published Fitzwilliam Darcy, Gentleman trilogy (following An Assembly Such as This, 2006 and Duty and Desire, 2006) begins when Darcy pays his yearly visit to his aunt, Lady Catherine, and discovers that Miss Elizabeth Bennet is staying with the Collinses nearby. After his disastrous proposal of marriage, he returns to London and attends a soiree where he is almost drugged, and . . . well, most readers will be glad to get through the book's long middle section and back to Austen territory. Things pick up again with Darcy's chance encounter with Elizabeth at Pemberley, and the narration of Darcy's efforts to clean up the mess created by Willoughby's elopement with the youngest Bennet sister is thoroughly engrossing. Although acquaintance with Pride and Prejudice is not essential to the enjoyment of any title in the series, Austen fans will be delightfully entertained by Aidan's witty spin on familiar characters and events.
