Product Description

Product Description

There is a road in Derbyshire England, which intersects a mysterious path that appears for a time, then vanishes without warning. It links the twenty-first century to Regency England. Jonathan Thomas, a twenty-first century piano tuner and unpublished composer, is about to unknowingly enter that intersection.

As he walks from his disabled car, Jonathan carries his toolbox, and in it a musical composition he had hoped to sell in town. An elaborate, monolithic mansion that he never noticed during his frequent trips to town looms beyond a stand of Italian pines. He treks there seeking help, and meets a young woman, beautifully dressed in Regency clothing, who happens to need a piano tuner. She introduces herself with a curtsy, as Georgiana Darcy, a name he recognizes from the novel, Pride and Prejudice. She is impressed by his treatment of her pianoforte, lovingly, as if were a precious life. She inquires about the composition, and with a smile, and loving gaze into her eyes, he refers to it as his soul. They play it as a duet. The music allows her to look deep into his heart and she falls in love. He gives her the music, his soul. While she makes him a cup of tea, he is unceremoniously sent back to the twenty first century since the intersection has disappeared.

The pair suffer from a love separated by two hundred years. Her brother, Fitzwilliam Darcy, has traveled through the intersection many times. There in the future he discovered Pride and Prejudice, and for everyone’s sake he keeps the truth of their existence a secret. He brings Jonathan and Georgiana back together, and after months of tedious, sometimes amusing assimilation, they are engaged. Shortly afterwards, she convinces him to show her his world. While there, he is injured in an accident and trapped, and she is sent back by the intersection.
There is only one person who can solve this problem.

So begins the search for Jane Austen.

The story continues with "There's Something About Mary Bennet"
Part two of the Jonathan Thomas and Georgiana Darcy Chronicles.
Good dark fun that brings you to the edge of the cliff.

Just finished reading this whilst visiting Estonia. I really liked the idea of this story: Pride and Prejudice meets time travel, as it hit two of my interests together, however it needed serious proof-reading and some of the historical inaccuracies were a bit too much. However, unusually, it did not make me stop reading it. It is a sweet story that I enjoyed despite its problems. You need to suspend disbelief and be quite tolerant, but I found it was worth the journey. Loss of rating was not for the story but the mistakes.

I absolutely loved Starlight Over Pemberley 4 Mar 2011
By Lady Elisabeta - Published on Amazon.com

Starlight Over Pemberley is a romantic, lovely revisit to the beloved characters from Pride and Prejudice as they continue to live on beyond the original novel. It is a charming and fun read and the author has breathed life into a new heroic and likeable character, Jonathan Thomas, who is delivered to the doorstep of Pemberley and falls into an improbable romance with Georgiana Darcy. Mr. DiMattia has respectfully captured Mister Darcy, in the way we all love and admire him as he gives us a look behind the curtain into life at Pemberley. Even Jane Austen makes an appearance in this fascinating novel. I just wish I could magically step into this lovely story and become part of it myself.

You will adore this novel as I did.
I love love love this book! 14 May 2012

I thoroughly loved Starlight Over Pemberley! DiMattia weaves a totally plausible tale involving Georgiana Darcy and Jonathon Thomas that had me engaged from the first page. This book does honor to Austen's Pride and Prejudice. I loved the weaving of many of Austen's other characters into this book. I could not put this book down, I read through it and DiMattia's other 'There's Something about Mary' so quickly. I took many extended lunches reading because I couldn't put it down. I would love to read anything else Sebastian DiMattia has written!
