A Peculiar Connection

De: Jan Hahn

Narrado por: Amanda S. Brown

Will a mysterious note from the past doom the love of Jane Austen’s most beloved couple?

A Peculiar Connection begins near the close of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. Bent on preventing the engagement of her nephew to Elizabeth Bennet, Lady Catherine de Bourgh declares that any union between Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth would be “a sin against Heaven itself!” Her shocking revelation, along with a cryptic message written over twenty years earlier, thrusts the couple into a whirlwind of heartbreak and disbelief.

Could a deserted mansion in Derbyshire or a small church hidden in the wood hold the key to solving the puzzle? And why is Elizabeth inexplicably drawn to the portrait of three young boys in Pemberley’s gallery?

Determined to confirm or refute Lady Catherine’s accusation, Darcy and Elizabeth are forced to embark upon a twisted trail into bygone days and family secrets. All the while, they must endure the exquisite torture of denying the indisputable desire that still hovers between them.

From the award-winning author of An Arranged Marriage, The Journey, and The Secret Betrothal.

Enjoyable

This had a good touch of mystery, although It was eventually easy to figure out before it was revealed. It was well worth the listen.

The Best P & P Vagary!

The author stayed true to Jane Austin’s style. J. Hahn brilliantly developed her plot so that it was believable, and true to JA’s style. She added a mystery to the plot and it was the BEST I’ve read in a long time; which says a lot as I’ve read more than 50! The author kept the H and h realistic and clean, just as J.A. would have.
I’m simply so pleased after having read this that I must look for more of her novels.
The narration was very good and made for easy listening.

Very Original P & P Variation

I have listened to (and read) more than my share of Pride and Prejudice variations, and must say that this particular story was completely fresh; I have never seen the premise upon which this story was based, prior to listening to this book. The characters remain quite true to those depicted by the incomparable Miss Austen, yet there is more angst than in the original. The performer, Amanda S. Brown, has a very pleasant voice, and reads with occasional gentle emotion which greatly enhanced my enjoyment of this story. I highly recommend this book!

Very enjoyable

I really enjoyed this story. Well written and detailed. I highly recommend this book to a Jane Austen fan fiction lover.

One of my favorites

This book is one of my favorites and the audio book is marvelous.
The story begins with lady Catherine bringing a tale of Elizabeth’s birth and brings misery to many. Along the way Elizabeth must deal with the pain while Darcy uncovers the truth. While the family connection is there he cannot believe his aunt Catherine’s allegations. This is a sad but heartwarming tale.
