Peacocks of Pemberley

A Pride and Prejudice Variation

By: Laraba Kendig

Narrated by: Harry Frost

Darcy is surprised that Elizabeth has won the friendship of his unusual sister, and he is shocked when he begins to fall for her as well.

Mr. Darcy feels guilty that he was not there to prevent Mr. Bingley from marrying Jane Bennet, who no doubt was only after his money. As to their upcoming stay at Pemberley, surely if he can tolerate Caroline Bingley, than he can tolerate Jane’s sister, Elizabeth, as well.

When the Bingleys and Elizabeth visit, Darcy's peculiar sister Georgiana finds Miss Bennet to be a delightful companion. As Elizabeth helps Darcy to understand and appreciate his sister, he realizes the handsome Miss Bennet is an admirable woman.

Caroline Bingley, Catherine de Bourgh, and George Wickham plot to achieve their own selfish goals. Even as these threats arise, love whispers to Elizabeth and Darcy to overcome their pride and prejudice.

Wonderful story and performance

This book meets all my expectations for an alternate P&P book. The characters were like old friends. Very cozy and sweet with some unexpected moments. The reader is excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed the story.

Outstanding Book and Performance!

I enjoyed this book and the narrator immensely. It is a rich P&P variation with an unusual element of a character on the autism spectrum. It is so good that I have listened to it three times, particularly for the amusing portrayals of Caroline Bingley and Lady Catherine. Excellent book!

Loved it!

The story is very well done and having Harry Frost as narrator was excellent. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

One of my “Go-To” variations

I generally like more spicy variations, but there are several of Ms Kendig’s books that I especially like to listen to while relaxing. One could make an argument from the original that Darcy falls within the Autism Scale, however this book depicts Georgiana as being autistic. It is a lovely and thoughtful book. And my goodness, you surely can’t go wrong with Harry Frost.

Peacocks of Pemberley

I love this book, and if it was a delicious cake, the audiobook would be the frosting upon it. The writing is superb, with a tiny amount of angst, and a huge amount of heart. As I already stated in a Facebook comment, Harry Frost does Georgianna exceptionally well. There is no doubt she is exceptional and straightforward in her speech. It’s a revelation to “hear” a such talented voice actor give life to the words the author has written for the characters. It’s like watching the scene in the movie “The Wizard of Oz” where the screen changes from the black and white of Kansas to Oz’s glorious technicolor!

We JAFF audiobook fans are forever grateful for the joy of listening to some of the best narrators in the recording world, of which Harry Frost is way up there at the top!
