Publisher's Summary

“Please admire my docile and obedient nature. I will not thank you for providing us with a home, nor will I even breathe a word of gratitude for your provision of such funds as will feed us each quarter. I will not even write such platitudes as ‘You are very good,’ given that you have also provided us with respectability in the form of Mrs. Ingles. There. I am quite done now with not expressing my gratitude – I should not at all wish to prove tiresome.”

From the author of TactDear Nameless Stranger is a heartwarming tale inspired by Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice and Jean Webster’s Daddy Long Legs

Tragedy has struck the Bennet sisters but they are greatly relieved when the anonymous kindness of a stranger means that they can remain together. In exchange for such charity, a monthly letter is required from each sister. It is a fortunate thing that Miss Elizabeth Bennet rather likes letter-writing, for she relishes the opportunity to relate to this unknown gentleman all her impressions and opinions regarding her changed circumstances.

With each passing month, Elizabeth confides more in the nameless stranger, and by the time Netherfield Park is once again occupied by the amiable Mr. Bingley and his friend Mr. Darcy, she is quite frank in writing of her dismay.

Unexpectedly delightful

I just loved this. The personalities of the Bennett girls were surprisingly witty and supportive of each other. So light and just a lovely story

Ratings made me expect so much more

The fact that this book had such high ratings and praises sold me on buying it to read. And the story itself was lovely however I feel the story would have been so much nicer if it had been written in chronological order. I would have preferred to have read Darcy’s reactions to Elizabeth’s letters straight after the letter was read rather than waiting till the second half of the book and straining my brain to try to remember what it was that Elizabeth wrote and what it was he was reacting to. The ending too was way too short and it didn’t tie up loose ends. In Lizzy’s final letter there was suggestions about procuring books and paintings from longbourn but the reader will never find out if Mr Darcy was able to do so. Likewise the reader will never find out if Bingley proposed to Jane or if the Collinses get their comeuppance.
It left me feeling like I had read a first draft of an unfinished book.

PLEASE MS PENEAUX, if you could revisit this book, reorder the way it’s written, lengthen the ending and add a little passion into the Oakham Mount scene, your book would then be worthy of 5 Stars.

Note: This was the first time I have heard this narrator and was very pleased by her reading style. Five stars for the narrator.
