An Assembly Such as This by Pamela Aidan (#1 in the Mr. Darcy series)

A wonderful idea: write the story of Pride and Prejudice from Mr. Darcy's point of view. You get very little of him in Austen's book and Aidan does a nice job of staying true to the language, the tone, and the character of Austen's original. I don't think she needed to write three books to do it, though I'm sure it made it more lucrative for her. I found some of the passages where we were in Mr. Darcy's head pretty tedious. I'm a big fan of the show over the tell. But I really enjoyed the books, I just wish they had cut the fat out and made it just one novel.
