Wal Walker
McMahons Point, NSW, Arcana Gallery, 2017
A startling biography of Jane Austen and D’Arcy Wentworth, written
by Wal Walker, a descendent of the Wentworth family, one of the wealthiest and
most powerful families in colonial Australia.
D’Arcy Wentworth was a medical student and sometimes highway robber
and his family was distantly related to Jane Austens.
Is this the real Mr Darcy ? Was he a love of Jane Austen?
Jane
& D’Arcy is a very enjoyable piece of historical detective work that
re-creates the romance and between Jane Austen and D’Arcy Wentworth and
attempts to fill the gaps.
Fascinating!
Fascinating!
