				<title>Mrs. Darcy and the Blue-Eyed Stranger by Lee Smith</title>
				<link>http://engagedpatrons.org/Blogs.cfm?SiteID=5937&amp;BlogID=257&amp;BlogPostID=8098</link>
				<description><![CDATA[&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Once in a while a collection of short stories jumps out at me. Mrs. Darcy and the Blue-eyed Stranger initially pulled me in because I though it would be related to <em>Pride and Prejudice</em> by Jane Austen, (which it wasn&#39;t!) but it redeemed itself because every story was a little gem of its own. The settings were southern, exotic to this northerner, with a variety of ages and locales. Seven of the 14 stories were new for this volume and seven had been published before in other collections. I felt like these stories placed me in the middle of a tight-knit community and treated me like family.<br />  <br />  Submitted by Priscilla Colwell, Putnam Public Library<br />  Villager Papers, November 19, 2010 <P>
