Epiphany

By: Jessie Lewis

Narrated by: Harry Frost

Length: 7 hrs and 9 mins

Publisher's summary

Somehow, his hapless sister had begun a rumor that he was romantically attached to the penniless young woman, from an unheard-of and vulgar family, with whom duty and good sense forbade him from ever considering an alliance…but whose extraordinary wit and captivating eyes he had been entirely unable to banish from his thoughts.

Having returned to London in December 1811, Mr. Darcy is appalled to learn that Anne de Bourgh, his  vexatious spinster cousin, has embarked on a journey to Hertfordshire to visit Miss Elizabeth Bennet. From her correspondence with his sister, Georgiana Darcy, he learns that Anne intends to rid Miss Elizabeth of any false hopes she may have of marrying him. His dismay quickly turns into alarm when Anne begins to insert herself into Hertfordshire society, even attending balls with the dastardly George Wickham.

Elizabeth Bennet finds herself intrigued by Miss Anne de Bourgh. After all, what sort of lady could ever meet the standards of the proud and fastidious Mr. Darcy? She soon comes to realize, however, that her understanding of their supposed engagement - and indeed of Mr. Darcy himself - is distinctly flawed.

As the cold days of December bleed into the new year, epiphanies abound for Elizabeth, Darcy, and even Anne, laying bare the machinations and desires of all those around them.

not a very good storyline

The only thing throughout the book is that Ann kept telling all that she and D are engaged. Going as far as to go to Longborne estate to make sure E knows it. As always D is struggling with E life situation, he over comes it eventually as always and Wickham is put in his place and Bingley and Jane gets together. Caroline needed to be put in her place a bit better than she was. Not worth purchasing. No romance at all

Very Enjoyable Narration and Story!

I loved the narration! the different voices were hilarious😁. I didnt tnink Id like a variation with Anne DBG in it but this is a whole new Anne LoL. I very much would recommend this audiobook.

Cousin Lady Anne gets out of bed!!!

Due to a letter from Georgianna to Anne D’b, cousin Anne takes off for Herefordshire to confront Lizzy, sometimes we normally see from her mother. Of course, Lizzy has no clue what this is all about since the trip to Kent hasn’t happened. This results is a great deal of confusion, confessions, and dare I say, ephiphanies.

Good Rom-com JAFF.

Worth the listen

Started a little slow and I was surprised by the male narrator but I found by chapter 2 it wasn’t odd to hear Elizabeth’s inner voice narrated by a man. The story was very enjoyable. I laughed out loud during several passages.

Love the Narrator

Oh my stars!!! I listen as I walk. Had to stop and laugh outloud when Anne de Bourgh spoke. He is just hilarious!!

Harry Frost Narration is Spot On

The story was delightful - it had me laughing out loud. I especially enjoyed Henry Frost’s narration; it’s seems that P&P variations are often narrated in a mumbling style that screams ‘please, put me out of my misery’. I found Mr Frost’s characterizations enjoyable and his diction was perfect. Going forward, I will be looking for books narrated by Mr Frost.

Great narrator and great writer

Enjoyed very much the narration of this equally enjoyable story. Easy to recommend to any Austen fan.

Another AMAZING story from Jessie Lewis

If you love masterful dialogue and wordplay, this is your author!!! She is BY FAR one of my favorites of this genre. I don't even usually bother looking at a book if it is under 10 hours, but considering how much I've enjoyed this authors previous books I gave it a pass. I am so glad I did. If you love witty JAFF, just do yourself a favor and buy this. It is laugh out loud clever!

And no need to say this again because he is the best male narrator in the genre, Harry Frost was spectacular. ❤

Fun listen

I really enjoyed this one -- I loved how Anne was written. Great narration as well.

Absolutely delightful!

I love Jane Austen’s books and especially Pride and Prejudice. I have read a lot of P&P fan fiction. Few people can successfully tell a story that is true to Jane Austen’s character’s and style. This story is wonderful. The banter between Darcy and Elizabethis clever, The story is romantic in a manner that is real and not contrived. Best of all was getting to know Anne De Bourgh. Her centrality within the story created real life, believable angst that made for a true to Jane, lovely story. I have read hundreds of P&P fanfiction. This is one of my top 3 favorites, if not my favorite!

Mr.Frost’s Darcy voice is as smooth and rich as velvet! His mastery of the feminine characters was spot on. I knew exactly which character was talking with the inflection of his voice. Brilliant! Thank you, Ms. Lewis for a most entertaining story.

Cheerful JAFF

A happy tale with a happy ending unlike most angst ridden P & P variations. Harry Frost never disappoints.

Thoroughly enjoyable

Ms Lewis is one of my favourite authors and this story was, as always, worth waiting for - the narration by Harry Frost made it a perfect match.
I like the fact that no characters are perfect and none are quite awful - with the possible exception of Lady Catherine here!
Many thanks

Excellent all ‘round

Enjoyable story and excellent narration; considerable variation from JA but delightfully so and not as far fetched a plot as some. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Excellent story; excellent narration

A fun story with just enough angst and lots of humour. Anne de Bourgh was a hoot!

Sublime!

A lovely story and a perfect narrator. To me, Harry Frost IS Mr. Darcy, perfectly warm and tempting once he has learnt to abhor his earlier priggishness :)

Delightful reimagining

A very enjoyable listen following Elizabeth and Darcy overcoming new obstacles in forming their attachment. Lewis captures Austen's characters wonderfully and the world they inhabit, creating fresh drama in this classic setting. The narration was captivating with each character painted perfectly.

Ok to good

This book was ok - good. I enjoyed other books by this author more. It was still an ok listen, but didn’t draw me in, or grab me by the heart, as much as others.
