Story
One of Jane Austen’s most beloved works, Pride and Prejudice, is vividly brought to life by Academy Award nominee Rosamund Pike ( Gone Girl). In her bright and energetic performance of this British classic, she expertly captures Austen’s signature wit and tone. Her attention to detail, her literary background, and her performance in the 2005 feature film version of the novel provide the perfect foundation from which to convey the story of Elizabeth Bennet, her four sisters, and the inimitable Mr. Darcy.

Loved this book
Amy Snow is a delightful book. I love being immersed in the history and the propriety of women of this age. The use of english in this time is exquisite, I wish we could still communicate so eloquently. Loved the way that the book unfolded taking Amy on many adventures. I chose it because the Richard and Judy recommendations are generally correct, with this one winning the 2014 Search for a Bestseller award, I was not disappointed. I read other genres but feel the need to jump back to this era for some refinement now and again.

Wonderfully soporific!
If, like me, you often use audio books when you can't sleep, this is one for you. It's so obvious, turgid, contrived and fancy full while pro porting to be well researched and completely plausible (authors Q&A) that it bores you into sleep - while there being just enough intrigue to wait for the big reveal, the protagonists parentage. Don't bother.

Completely drawn in
I was a bit dubious to being with as the narrator appeared to speak very slowly. However she is very clear and crisp and once I got my ear in I found that my initial impressions were wrong and I was infact drawn into the story even more.
Amy Snow is a unfortunate girl of the period who has many struggles and has many hardships. This is a great story of how she battles through and eventually triumphs. I was so drawn in that in places I was welling up and was so desperate for the story to ensure that Amy Snow was alright!
I don't often get completely consumed by a book, but this one had me! I often listen on my commute into work and found myself sitting outside not wanting to go in as I wanted to hear more!

Captivating historical fiction
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes! The style is kind of a cross between Charles Dickens, Bronte sisters, and Jane Austen. It vividly evokes the Victorian era, and has nuanced and fascinating characters.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Amy Snow?
When Amy and Mrs. Riverthorpe come back from the ball and talk over wine.
Have you listened to any of Melody Grove’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No I had not, but I thought she did an excellent job - particularly with Aurelia and Mrs. Riverthorpe's voices.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When Amy gets to York and discovers the next part of the treasure hunt.
Any additional comments?
Although I absolutely loved the book, I felt like there could have been more romantic tension between Amy and Henry. I also didn't really care for the shift of perspective in the epilogue at the end.

Could Not Be Better
If you are seeking a read that is part Dickens, part Bronte, part Austen and yet totally original, then Amy Snow is THE novel for you. I don't recall historical fiction that so captivated me (and I have read a good deal of it). The writing is absolutely superb, the narration perfect for the author's brilliant words and the story kept me hungering for more and more. When I finished it, I immediately started to listen again - something I rarely do. But this is a very unique, cherished book in so many ways. Ms. Rees is to be congratulated on writing a novel that is now on my "Top Ten" list - of all times!
You have to be a fan of historical fiction to fully appreciate Amy Snow, but if you are, you will be thrilled if you listen to it. It will stay with you for a long time. It's a gem!

Terrific Story
I enjoyed this book with all it's secrets and complexities. The characters were well developed, keeping my interest.
Melody Grove reads beautifully with the exception of some of the male characters. It was at times difficult to distinguish which character was speaking with words of one person rolling into the dialogue of another creating confusion on my part and having to re-listen for clarification. I did find her voice very pleasant & enjoyable to listen to.

Quest was too long
The Victorian era with its beautiful gardens, large estates, levels of society and endless social engagements lends itself to fascinating details and vivid descriptions. I liked the story of Aralia and Amy Snow but the facts became redundant. A better job of editing would have made this a more enjoyable read, not so dull and lifeless. Will not read another book by this author.
