Yep! I decided to spend a few hours at Pemberley today. The excitement of young Valentine's Days gone, nothing's better than a journey into romance and mystery. Dreams and old memories, do they really help on Valentine's Day? I'm not in a bad mood, not sad nor unhappy, not melancholic nor nostalgic. So the answer is, DEFINITELY YES, they helped a lot. I played my new DVDs and off I went on a very romantic Valentine voyage. All alone, but not truly.
I had already seen Death Comes to Pemberley when it was on BBC One during last Christmas holidays but to re-watch it has given me the chance to enjoy little details that had gone missed at a first view.
Death Comes to Pemberley, P. D. James's sequel to Pride and Prejudice, is now available on DVD ( check it out HERE) and you can watch it on your TV or computer screen as many times as you wish and add it to your Austen - inpired DVD collection.
This mini-series has been a pleasant surprise for me, since I didn't expect to like it much. I wasn't that fond of P.D. James 's murder mystery set at Pemberley when I read it, so I was ready to be bored and even more disappointed by its TV adaptation. Instead, in my opinion, Juliette Towhidi's script improved the plot, enriching it with short flashbacks and giving it a fast paced rhythm it didn't have.
