Resumen del Editor

Elizabeth Bennet inherits a stunning fortune. Mr. Darcy left Hertfordshire to escape his attraction to her—will her sudden wealth pull them together or drive them further apart?

February of 1812 brings startling news to Longbourn; a distant relation has left Elizabeth an astonishing fortune. She is overwhelmed by a multitude of suitors in pursuit of her wealth but is determined to never marry a man who only loves her money.

Jane Bennet is devastated that Mr. Bingley fled Netherfield and abandoned their budding romance. Will his apologies and renewed attention be enough, or will Colonel Fitzwilliam win Jane’s heart?

Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, the master of Pemberley, sought to elude his fascination with Elizabeth but soon discovers that he is hopelessly in love with her, and he despairs when he learns that she despises him.

Elizabeth once found Mr. Darcy to be the most insufferable of gentlemen...could he now be the perfect man for her?

This is a sweet and clean, low-angst Pride and Prejudice variation where all of the Bennet sisters have happy endings.

Fun twist on a classic

I really thought I wouldn’t like it. When the main character is a woman I prefer that the narrator be a woman as well but the narrator was quite good and I got over my prejudice rather quickly. It was a fun what if type of book and I loved the Epilogues at the end. They wrapped up everything so well!

Left Curious….

I’m curious about the conversation between Col. Fitzwillam and Elizabeth Bennet at the ball. Fitzwilliam was saying something to Elizabeth about Darcy, then suddenly his sentence is cut off. I am surprised by this…. That it wasn’t caught during editing. This takes place at the end of chapter 21- and then goes on to chapter 23. So, what all did he say? What did all listeners miss?

A bit too much religious references for me, and this seems to be an ongoing theme with this author in her other books.

That said, I do like the story and have listened to it multiple times. Harry Frost is seriously amazing , as usual.

Great book. Great narrating

Loved this book. And listening makes the experience even better. I love how Harry Frost do different voices depending on the character. It was a joy to listen to this story. Highly recommended it to a Jane Austen fan fiction lover. Great Jaff

Harry bring story to life

This is an enjoyable story that Harry Frost brings to life. Some say the religious parts were too much but I disagree as I thought they were tastefully placed and fits with what church going characters would have said/done in that era. In this story Elizabeth finds out that she has inherited 70K and Aunt Gardiner also inherited money and a house in town. Elizabeth & Jane are sponsored to attend the season and thankfully twin governesses are hired to help with the younger girls. These ladies are worth every penny they were paid for the challenging job they had. I do like how Wickham was dealt with. As well as Darcy finding out early what Elizabeth thought of him and his realization that he needed to correct his behavior and at least become friends. Oh Bingley you are truly led by your sister but at least you did reform at the end. You all will have to read/listen to see what that all entails. Overall it is a sweet love story in the long run.

Wonderful story and wonderful narration

This was such an interesting variation. I often find myself a little board half way through books but this one really keeps you hooked throughout. The writing is excellent and the narrator did a great job with all the different characters. As with all JAFF there are always A LOT of main characters and side characters to keep track of and Harry Frost did a wonderful job differentiating who was speaking and making each person believable. This is will be relisten for sure! I do very enjoy Ms. Kendig’s writing, she writes very well and her her stories are always captivating, but this maybe my favorite.

Delightful!

It was close enough to the original but was had enough of a difference to make it very enjoyable.

Slightly slow start, but then excellent

I felt there was a lot of descriptive information at the beginning of the book, so switched to listening rather than reading. Harry Frost’s narration made the difference for me and it was just lovely from then on. Money or not, finding the right marriage partner was the theme of this story.

Wonderful!

I love that Laraba puts her characters in right relationship to
Our God!
He is after all, author and finisher of our faith and lives.

Boy, this was great - one of the best JAFF around

I enjoyed this book so much I stayed up util 4:00am listening to it. I was totally immersed in the story. It begins several months after Darcy and Bingley leave Netherfield and a broken hearted Jane behind. Elizabeth is still sympathetic to Wickham (in this version she does not go to Rosings) and dislikes Darcy very much. To everyone's astonishment, Elizabeth is left 70,000 pounds (which is a ton of money) from a woman she had been kind to for many years. Things change for the Bennetts. Of course Mrs. Bennett thinks the money belongs to her and her favorite daughters, and Elizabeth is not one of the favorites. Elizabeth is made of sterner stuff and manages her money the way SHE wants it handled. Lydia is totally out of control but Elizabeth tries to fix that by hiring 2 governesses, twins to be specific. Is it too late for Lydia? Darcy and Charles had discovered even before they hear of Elizabeth's windfall, that they love Elizabeth and Jane. Is it too late for Darcy and Charles? The story is chock full of our favorite characters from the original P&P plus some very interesting new characters. The book is tied up well at the end and the three Epilogues add even more detail, which is great.. Harry Frost, one of my favorite narrators is superb in his presentation. It was a most satisfying book.

There is another book by Kendig entitled Peacocks of Pemberly. It is also an excellent 5 star book.

Great variation on a classic

Great variation.
Love the switch ups with who some of the Characters married.
Some characters got what they deserved.
I loved that they even had the characters get older.
