About the book, In Search of Mr DaRCY

IN THE WORDS OF THE AUTHOR…

"In Search of Mr Darcy," Christina Ford fearlessly bares her soul, serving up a delightful cocktail of searing honesty, sparkling wit, and heartfelt warmth. It's as if Nora Ephron herself whispered in her ear, guiding her on this remarkable journey through the trials and triumphs of love, relationships, and the messy business of adulting.

With a blend of razor-sharp humour and profound insight, Ford recounts her four decades of romantic entanglements, marriages, and the rollercoaster ride of parenthood. She fearlessly peels back the layers of her heart, revealing heartrending details of betrayal and hurt caused by the end of her marriage. But amidst the tears, Ford uncovers the silver lining, demonstrating the resiliency of the human spirit and the indomitable power of self-discovery.

Ford expertly weaves her own narrative into a tapestry of relatable experiences. Her tales of dating misadventures, friendships both steadfast and turbulent, and the perpetual balancing act of step-parenting nightmares strike a chord with readers who have danced to the beat of life's capricious melody.

Her wit is a delightful companion, as she regales us with tales that would make even Carrie Bradshaw blush. From a perfectly timed one-night stand that proves more therapeutic than years of therapy to the comical mishaps of navigating the dating scene after 40, Ford's humour provides a buoyant reminder that even in the darkest moments, laughter is the best remedy.

But it is in Ford's poignant vulnerability that true spirit that shines through as she captures the essence of love, loss, and the quest for fulfilment. Ford bares her soul with unabashed honesty. She lays bare her fears about starting anew and shares her hard-won wisdom with unflinching candour. Through her experiences and the invaluable lessons they impart, Ford emerges as a woman not defined by her past but shaped by the resilience of her spirit.

In Search of Mr Darcy is for anyone who has ever wondered if there is life after divorce, sex after forty or who has been violently in love, have had their heart ripped from their chest and wondered if it will ever beat again. The answer is, damn straight…to all of it.
