A Good Memory is Unpardonable by Alix James ★★★★★
Think only of the past as its remembrance gives you pleasure.
On their 20th wedding anniversary, Elizabeth Darcy convinces her husband to join her in documenting their love story, each from their own perspective. They will each write in their own private journals, then share their memories.They each remember events differently and we hear their thoughts and feelings at the time. There is a certain amount of amusing cheating, as each wants to read the latest journal entries.
Who is telling the story as it really happened? Probably neither one, but there is one thing they both agree on: Think only of the past as its remembrance gives you pleasure.
I love Elizabeth as a widow. It gave her much more license to be her arch self. I was amazed at her ability to tolerate Louisa and Caroline as sisters.
Elizabeth and Darcy have a sweet friendship first, then love, which means a much less reserved Darcy
It was great to hear their thoughts
