Summary
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a gossip in possession of misheard tales and desirous of both a good wife and an eager audience need only descend upon the sitting rooms of a small country town in order to find satisfaction. And with a push from Lady Catherine, Mr. Collins sets alight a series of misunderstandings, rumors, and lies that create obstacles to a romance between Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet.
This slightly unhinged romantic comedy follows Darcy as he sets off to find himself a wife and instead finds himself pulled into the mire of his aunt’s machinations and his own fascination with Elizabeth, whom he believes betrothed to another. As Meryton judges him the grieving groom of Anne de Bourgh and a caddish dallier with the hearts of others, Darcy must ferret out the truth behind his cousin’s disappearance, protect his sister from the fretful fate of all Fitzwilliam females, and most importantly, win Elizabeth’s heart.

Thoroughly enjoyable
Quite different from many variations, but I really enjoyed it. The subtle, dry humour is skilfully enhanced by excellent narration. I shall definitely listen again.

Very Enjoyable❣️
A well written and very humorous variation. I would most definitely recommend this very different take on the courtship of F & D.

Funny and sweet
If you are looking for a book written as Jane Austen wrote, this is not the book for you.
However, it is a brilliant book! I have listened to it a few times and laughed everytime. The story is more from Darcy and his Fitzwilliam family side and they are absolutely bonkers. I want to be a member of that family!
Mr Collins is, as ever, an idiot but funny. Jane is more realistic as she has faults and Kitty, who I always felt was overlooked, is able to shine.
I throughly recommend this book, it is light hearted and David Pickering is a very talented narrator. I will look forward to more of Jan Aston's book.
