Publisher's summary

It is a truth universally acknowledged that every man in possession of a wife must be in want of a son. Seventeen eight-five was to be the most marvelous year of Marianne's life until an unfortunate turn of events left her in a compromised state and desperate for a husband to care - or rather cover - for her. Now she is stuck in an undesirable marriage to Mr. Edward Bennet, a man desperate in his own way for a male heir. But as she is still carrying a smoldering desire for the handsome Colonel Miller, Mrs. Bennet must constantly find new, clever ways to avoid her husband's lascivious advances until she is once again reunited with her dashing colonel. Except that the best-laid plans of a woman in good standing can so often go awry, especially when her contrary husband has plans and desires of his own....

Critic reviews

" Mrs. Bennett Has Her Say is, like its author, uproarious and savvy and wild." (Rebecca Makkai, author of The Borrower)

More Tom Jones than Pride and Prejudice

If you have disliked Mr and Mrs Bennet for their insolence, silliness and selfishness, this book will confirm it in spades. Mr. Bennet is randy, and furious with Mrs. Bennet for producing only daughters. Mrs. Bennet was pregnant with Jane when she married, and Mr. Bennet is not the father. I am not sure why I persevered to listen to the end. I didn’t care for either character and cannot believe Mrs. Bennet made a conscious decision to be silly the rest of her life as some sort of act of defiance for being unloved. A very strange story of lust, betrayal, marriage without love, wrapped in a package that I think the author intended to be funny. Seriously not my cup of tea. But I do think the audiobook was performed well.

Sad sad ending... NO HEA!

Only for those who want a drama packed and terribly sad explanation for how the Bennett family got to be the way they were. Not my cuppa.
