Resumen del Editor

April 1812 - On being alerted of Jane Bennet's persistent melancholy by her sister Madeline Gardiner, Mrs Bennet travels to London in order to bring some cheer to her daughter. Once there, she overhears a conversation between her two elder daughters and becomes aware of Caroline Bingley's perfidy in keeping the truth of Jane's visit to their home from her brother.

Determined to set matters to right, Mrs Bennet immediately undertakes a visit to the Bingleys. In her eagerness to bring about a meeting between the separated lovers, she is careless of her surroundings and suffers an accident. Unfortunately, she does not survive the accident and passes on from the mortal world...or does she? What if she needs help to truly pass on to the other world? Help of the cold and arrogant Mr Fitzwilliam Darcy. Will he agree to help and what happens if he does decide to do so?

This short story answers all these questions and more!

absolutely charming

This was a funny and touching variation where the characters actions were surprising. My only complaint is that I wish it could have been a longer book.
I thought it very enjoyable.

A force to be reckoned with…

Fitzwilliam Darcy and Mrs Bennet join forces and they are amazing, as well as a hoot. Very imaginative and extremely entertaining. Harry Frost provides a very lovely tongue in cheek performance adding even more to the story. Highly recommended.

Imaginative retelling of Pride & Prejudice

Enjoyable audiobook narrated by the incredible voice actor Harry Frost. Clever reimagining of "Pride & Prejudice"—Mrs Bennet has died and some of her last words were to see Jane marry Bingley. As that was not achieved in her lifetime, she is tethered to life on Earth until that happens. And Darcy is the only one who can see her, converse with her. I enjoyed Frost's storytelling. I was hooked from the beginning. (The occasional modern phrase was distracting, but that's only because I line edit for a living. Most readers won't even notice.) Easy to recommend this novel by S. Neha! Especially for audiobook.

Delightful!

I absolutely loved this sweet story. It is a pure delight! The depiction of Mrs. Bennet is so heartwarming, especially the scene in the churchyard; definitely needed some tissues for that! Mr. Frost gives us an Academy Award-winning performance of all the characters. Thank you!

The last Word is a very different variation of the overall theme and the changes in character roles.

I loved the story and hope there is a second book. Very very nice! More please.

A very pleasant audiobook

A wonderful novella brought to sound by a very professional Harry Frost. His different vocal tones amongst the characters enhanced the overall listening experience. Well-written, well-narrated, Well Done!

Loved it.

Very different take on Pride and Prejudice. Mrs Bennet dies and goes to Mr Darcy and guides him in a way. He is the only one seeing her and that makes for funny events. Laughed out loud many times. Also loved hearing Harry Frost’s reading and voicing. Great Jaff.

Absolutely charming!!!!!!

Such a wonderful narration Harry Frost gives. I absolutely love his Mrs. Bennet! He has also done a fabulous job with the rest of the characters!

Fantastic! Top rated favorite of mine

I truly enjoyed this novella. Mrs. Bennett is killed in an accident (in the first few minutes of the book) and her spirit remains. Only Darcy is able to see her or talk to her. She wants his help in getting Jane and Bingley together. Mr. Darcy develops a relationship with all the Bennetts and does his best to help Jane and Bingley as he tries to help himself with Elizabeth. Wickham and Lady Katherine are their usual hateful selves. They want to harm Elizabeth and Darcy. Mr. Bennett warms up to Darcy and they team up to defend against Wickham. Col. Fitzwilliam comes to the aid of Darcy. It is just a warm fun listen, especially as Harry Frost is the narrator. He is always fantastic and he weaves his magic in performing all the characters and entertaining the listener with his extraordinary voice.

Fun, Engaging Story

This short novel was extremely enjoyable and the interactions between Mr. Darcy and Mrs. Bennett was entertaining. I wasn’t sure what to expect after reading the summary but I’m glad I purchased this book.

If you enjoy light-hearted, low angst and low conflict Pride and Prejudice variations, I recommend this book.
