Mr. Bennet is dying. Can Elizabeth and her sisters find success and love in the midst of upheaval and sorrow?

An urgent letter calls Elizabeth and Jane Bennet back to Longbourn from London. Mr. Bennet is dying, though Mrs. Bennet refuses to believe the terrible truth of his imminent demise. The master of Longbourn rests in the knowledge that his talented daughters will sustain the family when he passes.

The nearby estate of Netherfield has been leased to a wealthy single man by the name of Mr. Bingley. He finds himself infatuated with the eldest Miss Bennet, but Jane is tired of men admiring only her looks.

Mr. Darcy of Pemberley is weary from his burdens as master of Pemberley and guardian to Georgiana. Darcy’s attention is drawn to the tantalizing Miss Elizabeth of Longbourn, but his desire wars with his sense of responsibility.

This is another creative variation of Pride and Prejudice from a favorite author, Laraba Kendig. I enjoyed the story changes, in particular: featuring a Jane with artistic talent, giving Mr Bennet a half brother to inherit the estate (eliminating Mr Collins), and making Lydia a lovable character. Our narrator, Harry Frost, always adds wonderful emotion and life to his work, but in this book he treats listeners by acting Lydia’s voice performing lines from Shakespeare in Chapter 6! Bravo, Mr Frost!

This was a different take on pride and prejudice. There is no mr Collins as a relative. There is a younger half brother to mr Bennet. He is married to Charlotte Lucas. All the Bennet girls are very skilled. Great read.

Great story

I enjoyed this very much, however I felt the changes in the character of Jane were a bit heavy handed. The injection of feminist ideas tends to ruin some Regency romances for me. This version of Jane was more like Elizabeth. I don’t think it was necessary. Frankly I felt sorry for Bingley. Overall though, the story was pleasant.

How well fleshed out all the Bennett Sisters are

This was a wonderful story with a unique twist which led to fascinating deviations from the original story. My favorite Lydia so far. The writer is talented and I always look forward to her books. Harry Frost as the narrator is everything you could ask for in an audio book. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone without reservations.

Unique and wonderful

Mr. Bennet falls gravely ill, and the elder sisters of Longbourn know it won’t be long before a new master takes his place. Fortunately for the family, Mr. Bennet’s younger half-brother, a kind-hearted artist and the husband of the former Charlotte Lucas, is poised to step in. This variation offers a delightful exploration of the daughters of Longbourn, each possessing a unique talent.

Jane and Bingley do not marry, forcing him to take another look at himself—Bingley’s ultimate choice in the end might surprise.

An enjoyable read and listen, further enhanced by Harry Frost’s exceptional narration. His performance tugs at the heartstrings, particularly in the poignant moments surrounding Mr. Bennet’s illness and passing. Frost’s portrayal of Lydia, whose talent for acting shines as she performs Shakespeare, demonstrates his remarkable range as a well-rounded narrator.

Not-so-silly sisters

I enjoyed this book. It was pretty long but I didn't get tired of it. I listened to the audiobook over the course of a day and even managed to finish BEFORE bedtime. That is a rarity. The narrator did a good job and it was an enjoyable listen.

The story has its sad moments as Mr. Bennet dies and the daughters grieve. Mrs. Bennet seems to grieve more about losing her place as mistress than the loss of her husband but the daughters do truly grieve their loss. I loved the pairings as the girls marry. We don't see all the courtships and only learn about some of the marriages in the epilogue but I enjoyed how they were well matched.

Lydia may have been my favorite sister in this. She is still the boisterous youngest daughter but I'd say she uses her powers for good in this book. She still manipulates her mother but not for her own selfish desires. instead she does it to keep her mother's behavior stable. Each of the daughters are great and talented and have a useful gift but Lydia's was pretty hilarious really. And because of her more mature view of life I ended up loving her match up too. It seemed perfect but had someone told me about it as I started reading I wouldn't have believed that I would like it.

I loved the uncle and his management of the family when the time came for it. There really was much to like about the book. There aren't necessarily a ton of swoony moments but people were definitely marrying for love.

Enjoyable P&P Variation

I read this story just before listening to it and liked it then. Having listened to Harry Frost narrate it has been a joy.

Very well done
