The Falmouth Connection

A Pride and Prejudice Variation

De: Joana Starnes

Narrado por: Stevie Zimmerman

Just as Mr. Darcy finally decides to propose to the enticing Miss Elizabeth Bennet, she is summoned to Falmouth, to meet a relation she never knew she had. Thus, the ill-starred Hunsford proposal is avoided - but before he could even begin to understand his luck, adverse circumstances hasten to conspire against him, and Fitzwilliam Darcy is compelled to follow the woman he loves to the far reaches of Cornwall, into a world of deceit and peril, where few - if any - are what they seem to be...

Enjoyable, heartwarming.

I literally could not put it down. 😊 I have read this story awhile ago, but there is something about having it read to me that makes it magical 🤭

Great setting and a little mysterious

Joana Starnes provides such interesting settings for some of her stories, taking us to different parts of England and adding fantastic atmosphere. This was certainly true with The Falmouth Connection. I’d rather the story about a 4.5/5 (I’m stingy with 5/5 ratings) in part for the setting, but largely because of the intrigue and the fantastic romance between Elizabeth and Darcy. I can’t say that the resolution of the mysterious surprised me much, but that did not take away from the flow the story at all or my connection to the character’s reaction to the uncovering of the villains and their deeds. I enjoyed the original characters.

Stevie Zimmerman was great, as always!

Sweet romance with a touch of mystery

What made the experience of listening to The Falmouth Connection the most enjoyable?

Stevie Zimmerman is one of my favorite narrators.

Any additional comments?

I loved The Falmouth Connection, the romance, the mystery I like stories in which Darcy has a rival. It was fun to follow his way of thinking, how he misinterpreted Lizzy's behavior and expressions, until he was forced to face the truth.

The book had great villains, some of them were a surprise. There is even a duel (sigh). Lizzy's aunt is such a colorful character, and her and her sister's story was heartbreaking. There are some unexpected pairings, but it worked for me. Great book, Joana!

Great Story and narrator

This is one that you don’t want to miss. Every emotion can be felt and Stevie brings it to life.

Loved it...

Wonderful, original story centered around Darcy and Elizabeth with a great narrator...can't ask for anything more!
