Publisher's Summary

In The Darcy Connection, Mr. Collins of Pride and Prejudice is now the Bishop of Ripon, living with his wife Charlotte and their two daughters, who have reached marriageable age. The elder, another Charlotte, is extraordinarily beautiful, and her parents hope her looks and connections will ensure a brilliant marriage. Her sister Eliza, while not as handsome, possesses a lively intelligence that, in Mr. Collins's opinion, is too like her godmother Mrs. Darcy.

In London, Charlotte's beauty wins her many admirers, despite her small fortune. But Eliza's wit and attempts to interfere in what she considers an unsuitable marriage for her sister infuriate her family and Charlotte's suitor - until Eliza herself meets her match.

New and old fans alike will relish this witty, romantic, thoroughly entertaining novel from a highly talented author.

Disconcerting

What little reference there was to any of the original characters was so far from Jane Austen's depiction as to be irritating (for me) and at one point actually insulting when both Charlotte and Collins are presented as grasping for the possession of Longbourn (as I really like Charlotte in the original). I was prepared to overlook the ridiculous notion that plain Charlotte and unappealing Collins gave birth to a stunning beauty, but the story was so unengaging, and seemed to unabashedly piggyback off the well known names of P&P with little more to recommend it. If it is still free in the included catalogue, having a listen will only cost you several hours of your time if you are willing to give them up (I'm bailing). However, I would not recommend spending a credit on it.
