By maryann This is a well written novel that will have you happy and sad and then happy again. I loved the part of the explanation of the yule log and the wishes spoken by Darcy upon placing the yule log in the fireplace. It sounds like a great tradition and I knew they used it but not the oil, salt, and wine and it also is very touching to those in attendance.The author brings to light their mistakes in Darcy and Elizabeth's misunderstandings and how they solve them but their is heartache and loneliness for both along the way. All is resolved once most of the company leaves and love continues throughout the house.You can always count on the closeness of Darcy and the Colonel to bring joy and togetherness and Ms. Grace brings that out in her writings.Old traditions along with new traditions begin this first Christmas that was shared at Pemberley.I loved the novel and in each life some sadness does bring much joy!Thank you for a well written novel Maria Grace!
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A Christmas to Remember.... By Susanne Barrett A very sweet story of, as the title states, The Darcys' First Christmas. This lovely celebration occurs only weeks after their wedding, and threatens to become a most disharmonious gathering as the Bennets and the Gardiners join Lizzy, William, and Georgiana at Pemberley, but Lady Catherine and Anne arrive, the former only to find fault. But the first guests to arrive are Lord and Lady Matlock, the latter of whom is far more stubborn than the infamous Lady Catherine in getting her own way.Darcy makes several missteps that unintentionally put Lizzy at a decided disadvantage, and Georgiana hides in her room, afraid of her Aunt Matlock and avoiding the guests. When the harum-scarum Bennets arrive, all you-know-what breaks loose, and the Christmas celebrations become far more than Lizzy can handle...or bear.A lovely follow-up to Pride and Prejudice, Maria Grace's novella takes us in a very different direction as Lizzy and William learn much about love and marriage in the hot water of disharmonious family relations in which his family is actually more troublesome than her own.... ;)Definitely worth a read--thoroughly entertaining!
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Our Lizzie - unsure of herself and undermined by who? By S. L. Majczan I loved this story about the Darcys' First Christmas. But I do have to say I agree with another's comment about how Elizabeth was written out-of-character. Maria Grace has posted excerpts of this novella on several of her blogs. When I read of a certain bad aunt's (And, No, it was not Lady Catherine.) behavior I make a comment on that blog that I was sure Elizabeth was going to use her quick wit to come back at this person with perfect put downs and use her ability to draw on past statements to refute demands. After all we have read of her astute manner in handling Lady Catherine while confronting her in that little wilderness at Longbourn.Unfortunately, (or should I say, Once again) we read of this couple misunderstanding the actions of the each other. And they can't seem to get up the courage to speak plainly as to "just what happened and why?"The story has us reading of how Darcy and Elizabeth have sorted out their daily routine and chores. Elizabeth has found a friend, a mentor and wise guide in Mrs. Reynolds who gently gives opinions about past practices - good or bad. But she also lets Elizabeth know that no one is perfect and even Lady Anne had her moments of doubt, of bad judgments and wrong decisions. Long kept journals are given to Elizabeth so she can read of past dinners, receipts, balls, menus, etc. Darcy and Elizabeth visit some of the tenants together and we read as Elizabeth comes to know and be known to these people.But the fly in the ointment comes while Elizabeth is out visiting tenants alone one day and unexpected guests show up. Darcy had to make some quick but necessary decisions and when Elizabeth does come back to the manor she misunderstands as some of those decisions (....no, to her it is all of those decisions) seem to undermine her position as Mistress of Pemberley. Here we find an Elizabeth who keeps her feelings inside and who avoids Darcy’s gaze and who is suddenly mute. (This is the out-of-character Elizabeth for me.)Georgiana and Colonel Fitzwilliam are part of the story and one seems to add to the distress in the home while the other one looks on and gives some sage advice as the unease in the household is observed. Darcy's and Elizabeth's thoughts about how alone they feel does cause some anxious moments while reading but we do know that we will have a happy ending.At 91% on my kindle we have the lighting of the Yule Log and the author writes a most touching speech for Darcy here, "Let us consider the year past. Our faults, mistakes and bad choices. Let us allow the flames to consume those that we may begin the coming year with a clean slate. With that as our starting place, let us purpose to improve our faults, correct our mistakes and make improved choices."And after we reach our happy conclusion Maria Grace gives us descriptions and explanations of all those Regency traditions.This story is so much more than I have written here. Even though Christmas 2015 has passed I truly enjoyed this short story. I recommend it to all.
