Summary

Picking up 20 years after Pride and Prejudice left off, Mr. Darcy's Daughters begins in the year 1818. Elizabeth and Darcy have gone to Constantinople, giving us an opportunity to get to know their five daughters, who have left the sheltered surroundings of Pemberley for a few months in London. While the eldest, Letitia, frets and the youngest, Alethea, practices her music, twins Georgina and Belle flirt and frolic their way through parties and balls and Camilla - levelheaded and independent - discovers what joys and sorrows the city has to offer an intelligent young woman.

Listeners will delight in the return of such beloved Austen creations as Elizabeth's old nemesis Caroline Bingley (now Lady Warren), the ever-reliable Gardiners, and wayward Aunt Lydia. Charming, beautifully written, and full of societal intrigue and romantic high jinks, Mr. Darcy's Daughters is a tale that would please Austen herself.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The narrator made the voices of various adults in the book sound as if they were very young children. She is also unable to pronounce a number of word properly, such as ogle and chaise longue.

Any additional comments?

At the end of the audio book there is a free chapter of the next book in the series and the narrator ends the whole book by encouraging the listener to download this second book. But it is not available from Audible at the moment...
It would have been preferable if Phyllida Nash had narrated the whole series!

A good story marred by very few anachronisms but the perennial trouble of nonsensically wrong emphases on words.

A good writer

good book, but another review is right: you have to ignore the fact their parents are Elizabeth and Mr Darcy. doubt their parenting (or delegation of parenting to governesses etc) would be that bad that their children will have lost all sense of propriety!

ok if you ignore they are Darcy's daughters

I was intrigued by the idea of the five Darcy daughters. The book was mostly very entertaining, although the plot became convoluted and melodramatic at times. The appearances of Lydia and Caroline were highlights. Excellent narrator.
