About this listen

Pemberley’s ancient halls harbour many secrets. Which one will affect Fitzwilliam Darcy and the love of his life? How is Mr. Bennet to enjoy the comforts of a well-stocked library, when his wife’s premature demise had left him with the task of finding suitable matches for their daughters? And what of a misleading encounter on a muddy lane in Hertfordshire, that renders a country-town assembly rather more tolerable than some might have thought?

Shades of mystery, meddlesome relations - not least a drenched Adonis - raillery, old errors and a very recent union make for a challenging courtship when Fitzwilliam Darcy is not on his own ground. Yet when love is the reward, challenges make it more worth the earning.

“A fraught courtship? So, let it be fraught,” Colonel Fitzwilliam said with a nonchalant flourish of his hand. “A good challenge never hurt anyone.”

I have loved some of the author's other books but wasn't so keen on this one. I mean, it wasn't terrible, I enjoyed parts of it but wasn't sure about all the ghost storylines. Nothing in the book description said it was a ghost story and I felt it didn't quite work somehow. Also I wasn't convinced by the would-be murderer and we never found out what happened to them. I would still read/listen to this author but won't revisit this book.

Unsure what to make of this ghost story

sweet and funny variation, I like the presence of George Darcy, Lady Anne and then Mrs Bennet while they look after their children. no much angst, which is good for me and unlike the other books of the author. I wish for a little more of Darcy and Lizzy but their interactions are witty and sweet. no Lydia/Wickham.
the narrator is spectacular I have several books read by her and she is always very good.

a very good variation

I’m a huge fan of P&P variations, have listened to sooo many! This is definitely one of the better ones. It had a most unusual start I must say & it threw me initially but the characters are so well written & I’m talking about characters that we haven’t heard from before. I think this is my first story by this author & I think she writes wonderfully, she brings the characters to life & there are some truly laugh out loud moments. It’s a lovely long tale too & of course Ms. Zimmerman’s narration is the cherry on top

Really, really good

it was a strange beginning and had I been reading it I might have put the book down. But the narrator continued and I really enjoyed the tale. it was a lovely long story that enjoyed while walking the dog and finished it a couple of days. would recommend.

very different
