La vida aburrida y tranquila de Eliza termina cuando descubre dos enigmáticas cartas en un antiguo tocador que acaba de adquirir en una tienda de antigüedades. Una, escrita de su puño y letra por la autora que más admira, Jane Austen. La otra, más increíble aún, escrita por Fitzwilliam Darcy, el protagonista de la novela de Austen Orgullo y prejuicio. ¿Es posible que fuera un personaje real? Decidida a indagar en un fabuloso romance del pasado, Eliza entra en contacto por Internet con un Fitzwilliam Darcy actual, al que cree descendiente del autor de su carta. Pronto, acude a su mansión a conocerlo en persona. Allí le espera la revelación de un secreto increíble y la ocasión de convertirse en protagonista de una aventura que nada tiene que envidiar a las que inventó, y vivió, su adorada escritora.
Un delicioso romance que rompe las barreras del tiempo, con el que Sally Smith O'Rourke rinde su particular homenaje a la gran autora británica.
- Una novela romántica original que juega, además, con el misterio literario en su trama.
- Estilo ligero, ameno y emocionante.
