Review "A sweet, heartwarming story that emphasizes the true meaning of the Christmas season: love, family and friends, and compassion for those in need. The novel opens in the past with a Christmas wish and comes full circle beautifully. If you are an Austen fan looking for a charming Christmas story, I highly recommend this one!" - Anna Horner, Diary of an EccentricPraise for Penelope Swan:Penelope Swan has captured the essence of the characters and their "voices" so well that one would think the text was written by Jane Austen, herself." ~ Ingrid Holzman"

4 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Perfect warm and fuzzy, romantic read, take a quick break from the holiday rush! By books thru bifocals Penelope Swan, (also known as HY Hanna) has a new book just in time for the holidays, "Darcy's Christmas Wish." It's perfect for a much needed break during the happy but harried preparations ahead. I loved the ARC generously provided by the author in return for my honest review! The first chapter takes you back for a quick peek into Darcy's childhood, when he meets a little, brown eyed girl who comes to his aid after a sledding incident. In this Austen variation, Elizabeth finds adventure helping a young maid, who is falsely accused of stealing from one of Aunt Catherine's hoity toity guests. Naturally, she draws Darcy into the fray after running into more trouble than anticipated. As usual, the author maintains a very Austen voice, her characters are well rounded, and Elizabeth's independent thinking stirs the thematic pot, or is that plot? There is more than one nice surprise before the story ends, leaving the reader all warm and fuzzy inside. This would make a super holiday gift for most any girl from 19-90 who appreciates a sweet and cozy romance! (The age limit is due to a few general allusions and a non graphic scene about a "dirty old man," who believes servants are fine targets for his unwanted attention.) Don't miss this glad tiding of Christmas joy!

Majczan I read a review of this book on the Just Jane 1813 blog. And with my sister giving me an Amazon gift card I treated myself to this book with its Christmas connection.I found many aspects of this tale delightful: during a Christmas holiday 15 years ago, we have a young lad and a younger girl meeting because of a near death event. But they do not know each other nor can she be located or identified after he is found and taken back to the house and attended to by the people on his aunt's estate. Plus he isn't there when she brings help due to his condition and her physical inability to carry him to warmth and safety. He is told that no girl would dare step onto his aunt’s property as all in the area know of its exclusiveness, how Lady Catherine de Bourgh would react to any intrusion, how her estate is only for those of a certain level in society.Years pass: Jane is married, Charlotte also, and rather than visit in London with her family Elizabeth accepts Charlotte’s invite to Hunsford near Christmas time. Thus our dear couple meets at Rosings but there are other things going on and it is on these rather than a possible romantic connection that the story focuses. Our dear Elizabeth's concern for others (think of how she nursed dear Jane) comes to the fore when she observes and later makes contact with a servant girl who is cast out, literally, into the cold (due to a “gentleman’s” accusations). Lady Catwitch has ordered that all ostracize this young woman. And, reader, know that great estates have far reaching tentacles as people rely on any income from Lady C’s employment or her purchase of goods, etc.Elizabeth lets her conscience be her guide but finds obstacles along the way. Read here how she persuades those who care for her, i.e., Charlotte, Darcy, to bend the rules and even when they find they have to step back or even don’t buy into her interpretation of the girl’s circumstances, once again Elizabeth stands true to her nature. A servant girl, a lost pet, a young boy searching for his puppy in a winter storm all benefit from Elizabeth’s solace.The feelings between our protagonists are not delved into with much detail in this story. Rather we read of long silent walks and love growing but the descriptions are not full of sexual tension and the electricity generated, per se. Rather I got a sense of a retelling about prejudices: against the servant class and against any animal not of pure breeding and, yes, some thoughts along that line by Darcy as he feels love stirring but also as he remembers the girl with the fine, brown eyes of years ago.This was a short, sweet read. The title comes from a Christmas tradition concerning the stirring of the batter for plum pudding for the holiday meal. I did think that more could have been done with the relationship between Darcy and Elizabeth but, despite that, I can recommend this as an enjoyable read.

Unlike many P&P variations, this one starts with a throwback to Darcy at age 12, sledding at the estate of his aunt, Lady Catherine; after one chapter, the story reverts to the original time frame. It's set during the week before Christmas, with Elizabeth visiting her friend Charlotte, who is by now married and living on Lady Catherine's estate, while Darcy is visiting his aunt, as is his custom. There is a little mystery created by the author surrounding a servant girl, and another mystery which spans from the throwback to the current story, to which we, the readers, know the answer; the fun of that is watching Darcy learn his answer. Well written, fast paced and not too long, this book is perfect for a break from the hectic pace of the holidays.
