Story
What's Georgiana Darcy's story? Jane Austen tells us so little in Pride and Prejudice that we're left to wonder. How did the early loss of her parents shape Miss Darcy's character? And what about her near-disastrous affair with Mr. Wickham? Is that the true source of her shyness? She adores her brother and his new wife, Elizabeth, but will their guiding influence be enough to steer Georgiana clear of new trouble as she comes of age and falls in love again?

Story
One of Jane Austen’s most beloved works, Pride and Prejudice, is vividly brought to life by Academy Award nominee Rosamund Pike ( Gone Girl). In her bright and energetic performance of this British classic, she expertly captures Austen’s signature wit and tone. Her attention to detail, her literary background, and her performance in the 2005 feature film version of the novel provide the perfect foundation from which to convey the story of Elizabeth Bennet, her four sisters, and the inimitable Mr. Darcy.

Publisher's Summary
What will happen to the Bennet females now that Mr. Bennet has died? With Mr. Tristan Collins on his way from America to claim his property, Mrs. Bennet hatches her plan. The new heir to Longbourn simply must marry one of her daughters. Nothing else will do. Will it be Mary or Kitty singled out for this dubious honor? When the gentleman in question turns out to be quite a catch after all, the contest between the sisters is on. Which one will be the next mistress of Longbourn? Or will a dark horse step in to muddy the picture? Darcy, Elizabeth, and the rest of the Pride and Prejudice cast are back as the socially awkward Mary emerges from the shadows to take center stage in Shannon Winslow's long-awaited sequel to her best-selling novel, The Darcys of Pemberley.
Many Austen fans have a soft spot in their hearts for Mary and wonder if she might have the hidden makings of a heroine. Now, in Return to Longbourn, we learn what really makes her tick. Is she destined to be a governess forever, or will she overcome the misfortune of being 'plain' to find love and her own happy ending?

Wasn't sure I'd like this because I'm more obsessed with Darcy & Elizabeth but it was excellent. Mary's story was a great addition and I even started walking more so I could listen to it.....throughly enjoyable.

Decent but not fabulous Jane Austen knock-off
Any additional comments?
This is an amusing and well narrated story based on Jane Austen characters. The writing is mostly fine, but there are some lamentable lapses in diction, for example, a character says: "The thing of it is..." I find these stylistic lapses inexcusable. Even a single read-through of Jane Austen's novels should be enough that the author would know to write "The plain fact is" instead of "The thing of it is..."
That said, lovers of Jane Austen will probably enjoy this lively story that features many of the familiar faces of Pride and Prejudice.

A wonderful continuation to Pride and Prejudice
What made the experience of listening to Return to Longbourn the most enjoyable?
Just a wonderful story about the characters I fell in love with in Pride and Prejudice. It was wonderful to find that all the Bennett women find love and adventure in their lives.
What did you like best about this story?
Mary falling in love with Mr. Farnsworth, especially when it look like she would never find someone.
Which scene was your favorite?
I love the scene when Mr. Farnsworth tries to fluster Mary, but instead she puts him in his place without even raising her voice.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Love for everyone.
Any additional comments?
This was a great conclusion to the many questions I had after reading Pride and Prejudice. I can't think of anything else I would want to know.

very nice to have a story with the main characters as a backdrop. they really don't play that large a part (Elizabeth and Darcy) but rather Mary is the lead in this story and the story line around her is very creative and plausible and satisfying. great job.

Lovely Continuation to Pride and Prejudice
I feel this continuation would make Jane Austen proud. I loved that all the sisters' lives ended so well. The story is complete for me. The narrator did an excellent performance and was very persuasive with all the voices of each character. I would love more books by Shannon Winslow!

Finally! it's Mary"s turn!
Thanks Shannon. I've never liked the way things were left with Mary. I'm sure that there are those who espouse the notion that Mary was representative of the spinster who surely did \does exist. My response to them is that since Mary is fiction then one has the prerogative to insure her happiness. Now my heart is content with the Bennett family. Keep writing. (-:

A little bit of a letdown.
I recently listened to The Other Bennet Sister by Janice Hadlow, which made me curious to see other takes on Mary's adventures after Pride and Prejudice. I have listened to The Darcys of Pemberly previously and found it okay. My first issue with this book is that it begins in the future, some years after Pride and Prejudice (and The Darcys of Pemberly), with Mary presumably having "learned from her past mistakes". Mary is presented as a very altered person therefore, but all the change has happened "off stage", which effectively presents a Mary that seems disjointed from the Mary we know. She shares elements with P&P Mary, but we are to believe that something made her grow - we are just never told about what caused this initial and quite crucial character growth. The second thing I can say without spoiling is that I hate the chapter titles. They seem down right juvenile at points and sometimes they even spoil the chapter to come. I would have far preferred if the chapters were just numbered. Now for the SPOILERS!!! _________SPOILERS AHEAD__________ I did not find Mary's romantic arch enjoyable or believable in the slightest. It's not there until suddenly, BOOM, it's there. I get that feelings can creep up on you, but I just found no enjoyment in Mary's conversations with Mr F. I have a feeling the author was trying to create a man similar to Mr Bennet, but Mr F came off as annoying, arrogant, and sometimes even cruel. It seemed so unbelievable that Mary should fall for a man like that and I wasn't rooting for them to get together at all. I also got the feeling in the beginning of the book that Mary disliked two of the three children, who she has looked after for 4 years at that point, but all of a sudden that dislike is forgotten. I found myself losing interest before the book was over because of the pairing between Mary and Mr F. and I might have gagged a little when Elizabeth made an overt sex joke to Mr Darcy - tasteless and so out of place and it reminded me why I never relistened to The Darcys of Pemberly. All in all, this seemed like a bad fanfiction. I understand that all P&P adaptations are essentially fanfiction, but this seemed like the bad kind with very little respect for the source material.

An interesting addition to the world of Pride and Prejudice.
Enjoyable - it's good to see Mary having a happy ending - but the author needs to be careful not to introduce jarring Americanisms such as "lay" instead of "lie", "pled" in place of "pleaded" and worst of all, the appalling word "snuck". I don't think that Jane Austen would have approved and she would surely have been puzzled by reference to Mary's "subconscious" . Also, Spain for the honeymoon and walking on the beach? I'm not sure about those. Generally good reading, but I'm not sure if "cowering" someone instead of " cowing" them was a mistake by the author or by the performer.

Love!
Pride and Prejudice is one of my favourite novels. So much so I didn’t want the story to end so took the plunge, bought the audio book and ended up loving it. Only slight criticism is that it goes into a bit too much detail in the bedroom to be entirely consistent of Austen’s style but none the less I’m really glad I read it and couldn’t stop listening! Definitely recommend.
