Longbourn, December 1811. The day after Jane and Lizzy marry dawns especially cold for young Kitty Bennet. Called to Papa’s bookroom, she is faced with a resolute Mr. Bennet who intends to punish her complicity in her sister’s elopement. She will be sent packing to a seminary in far-off Cornwall. She reacts like any teenager chafing under the “burden” of parental rules - she throws a tantrum. In her fury, she slams her hands against the doors of The Bennet Wardrobe. Her heart’s desire? "I wish they were dead! Anywhere but Cornwall! Anywhere but here!"

This time, the most impertinent Bennet of them all, Elizabeth, tumbled through the gateway. Except she left not as the grown women with whom we have become so familiar, but rather as a 10-year-old girl who had been playing a simple game of hide-and-seek. What/where/when was her destination?

Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy arrived in Hertfordshire with his sister’s words ringing in his ears. “You have a heart of stone.” He had no reason to doubt Georgiana Darcy. Or so he thought - until he met Miss Elizabeth Bennet. Each time he was in her company, Miss Elizabeth’s impertinence chipped away at Darcy with her wit and kindness. By the time autumn turned into winter, he was captivated. In the springtime, Darcy felt stirrings of love. By summer, he would do whatever it took to convince her he was a worthy gentleman with a warm heart brimming with tender affection.

In Elizabeth: Obstinate, Headstrong Girl, she bares her most intimate thoughts, all the while offering biting social commentary about life’s absurdities.

Publisher's Summary
Time is once again bent in 1883 as Viscount Henry Fitzwilliam, Viscount of Matlock, uses the remarkable Bennet Wardrobe to seek his manhood through combat as suggested by his great friend, Theodore Roosevelt. But, as Henry’s Great Grandmother, Lydia Bennet Wickham Fitzwilliam, noted, “The Wardrobe has a strange sense of humor.” The lessons the young aristocrat learns are not the ones he expected.
Henry travels over 30 years into the future to land in the middle of the most awful conflict in human history - World War I. His brief time at the Front teaches him that there is no longer any room on the battlefield for heroic combat. Rather he discovers the horrors of “modern” warfare - the machine gun, high explosive artillery, and poison gas - and the incredible waste of young men’s lives.
Henry's two weeks spent recuperating at the Beach House in Deauville, after being temporarily blinded by chlorine gas, that irrevocably changes his life. There he encounters an incredible woman, one who will define his near 10-year search for the love of his life after he returns to his own time - and he learns how his personality was shaped by their emerging relationship...one that was impossible on a number of levels.
This brief Pride and Prejudice Variation novella (approx. 20,500 words) grew from the author’s efforts to sketch the events that shaped the personality of Henry Fitzwilliam. Listeners can consider Henry Fitzwilliam's War to be a prequel to The Exile.
Named The Best Series of 2017 by More Agreeably Engaged.

Complex timelines, and rich historic settings
This was an interesting glimpse into the complicated aspects of this series, as well as the introduction to Kitty's story. The historic settings, detailed descriptions, and wonderful intertwining of times and characters make this series so addictive. I am however torn on whether this had to be a separate story, or if it could have been a first part to Kitty's book.
The audiobook performance was stellar, and does a great job giving voice to each character.

Even More Sensational In Audio Form
It wasn't long ago that that I first read this short, riveting novella in the Bennet Wardrobe series. This short piece war romance interlude that falls between the first and second books in the series was particularly poignant for me so I was eager for the chance to experience it in audio form.
Amanda Berry is a new to me narrator. I really enjoyed her work and thought she was great fit for this historical time travel- fantasy setting. Her accents, gender voices, pace, and tone were a great match. I'm glad to know that she has narrated another from the series and I can't wait to pick up my earbuds and listen to more of her work and more of this series. It stands up well to a re-read/listen.

Daring and insightful
This was my first time through Henry Fitzwilliam’s War, though I have read the other installments in the Wardrobe Series. Amanda Berry’s narration was crisp and brought life to the characters beautifully.
The book starts out gritty and ambitious, then waxes lyrical and transcendent as it tackles sweeping topics of ruinous pride and love that defies boundaries. Highly recommend this contribution to the popular Wardrobe Series!

A compelling 'voice' to the story...
I have never listened to an audio book until now and was asked by the author to review 'the performance' and provide my honest opinion. I have already 'read' and reviewed the book. I am a huge fan of the Bennet Wardrobe series and this novella should be listened to after 'The Keeper' in this collection. I must say, the narrator, Amanda Berry, gave a compelling 'voice' to the story. I thoroughly enjoyed how she varied the accents and voice of each of the characters. She drew me in. This is a small, but very important piece to the Bennet Wardrobe puzzle that is rich in history, emotions and the five senses that blend seamlessly together. The book description gives a good synopsis of the story. The conditions the soldiers of the Great War have to bear are brought front and center in this tale. Henry's injuries leave him in the care of a mysterious woman that touches his soul like no other. I highly recommend this imaginative series and the audible format!

Wonderful story
Only a piece of the Bennet Wardrobe mystery is in this book/audiobook, and yet makes the reader want to go straight back to the books to read the adventures of the Bennet girls. The performance of Amanda Berry was wonderful, and gripping as heartbreak and renewed seal for life appears, and her voice fits wonderfully well for Lydia, and even the mysterious “K”
I personally can’t wait to hear the rest of the stories coming from D. Jacobson’s hand.
