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!

Easy listening but if they were Darcys Daughters the three younger daughters would NEVER behave as these ladies did. Nor would Elizabeth and Darcy leave their daughters to their first London season without being there for them. Mr Darcy and Elizabeth would be excellent parents in teaching the correct behaviour. The girls would also have too much respect for their hosts! However, as I cannot change the storyline, if you dismiss the Jane Austen characters this book is an easy listen. The voice of the narrator grate's a bit, as she doesn't manage to change the tone very well between characters. Along with other reviewers I would prefer Phyllida Nash to read this. The story moves along fairly well and is easy to follow. I dislike the impression this book gives that everyone in fashionable London at that time were all small minded, petty gossips. I believe that there were some "nice" people in society in those days. Although I like happy endings, I could not see where Sophy and Belle's love matches came from - its not as if their lovers are strong dynamic men, ready to push their claims or arrange clandestine meetings! Even saying all this, its is still an easy listen!

Easy listening, but . . .
