It’s First Line Friday! That means it’s time to pick up the nearest book and quote the first line. I’m a long-time Pride and Prejudice fan, so I’m always up for a Christian romance with a P&P link, so I was thrilled to join the launch team for Not Quite Mr Darcy by Kim Griffin. Here’s the first line from the Chapter One:
What’s the book nearest you, and what’s the first line?
About Not Quite Mr Darcy
“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that Mr. Darcy does not exist.”
Not Quite Mr. Darcy is not a P&P retelling but the story of a woman’s journey to discover what real love is.
An ocean … it’s vast and powerful. The water that fills it can bring death, or offer life. Kate Thomas moves her life across an ocean to conquer the hold of her past and find new life for her future.
Not Quite Mr. Darcy is women’s fiction with clean romance (kisses only). It tackles forgiving the seemingly unforgivable and the disillusionment many a woman has faced upon realizing that the perfect husband they’ve been raised to look for doesn’t exist. Kate, a recent widow, leaves her hometown of Memphis, Tennessee. Seeking distance from her past she takes a job in Kingsdown, England, working with a dementia patient in a cottage overlooking the English Channel. What she finds there is much more than she anticipated. Kate learns to find joy even in the hardest circumstances.
