No Less than Any Other

A Pride and Prejudice Variation

De: MJ Stratton

Narrado por: Erin Evans-Walker

Elizabeth Bennet is not the son and heir her mother wished, much to Mrs. Bennet’s despair. But all was not lost, for soon after her second daughter’s birth, Mrs. Bennet delivered a son. Tom Bennet, born just minutes after his sister, was their family’s savior from the moment he took his first breath.

Tom Bennet's peculiar nature soon sets him apart from others around him. His striking intelligence, key in aiding his family, paired with his many oddities leaves those around him with many differing opinions. None, though, are more dedicated to his well-being than his twin sister Elizabeth.

The closer to reaching their majority the twins get, the more frantic Mrs. Bennet is, for should anything befall Tom, her hopes and security will be dashed. She is determined that her girls must marry wealthy, eligible men as an extra precaution.

When Netherfield Park is let at last and is filled with eligible men, Mrs. Bennet sees her chance to ensnare at least one wealthy man for her daughters. But will the rumors of heartless neighbors prevent the new tenants from forming any serious designs on any of the Bennet daughters?

No Less Than Any Other is a sweet and clean Pride and Prejudice variation.

No Less is truly how we all need to see each other

I first read the book over a year ago (see below for review) and then the audiobook was just released & I quickly bought it. The narration was well done and I was dropped back into this alternative in the P&P universe and enjoyed again the relationship between Elizabeth & her twin brother, Tom. Yes, I will listen again.

A good 4 1/2 rounded to 5. Make sure to read the author's note at the beginning of the book. This is the second book I have read recently that includes characters who, in that time, many would be prejudiced against and even sent away because they couldn't or wouldn't understand them. In this story, differences are supported and they are encouraged to explore their interests and this greatly improves their family life. Mrs Bennet, I just have to shake my head at when time after time she is told things will be OK she refuses to believe it or trust her husband and son. Darcy is so self focused that he is oblivious to evidence and falls back on his prejudices, fears, assumptions, and pride. I would have liked to see Darcy grovel a bit more. Will this be a story that I will read again? Yes.
