About this listen

Pemberley’s ancient halls harbour many secrets. Which one will affect Fitzwilliam Darcy and the love of his life? How is Mr. Bennet to enjoy the comforts of a well-stocked library, when his wife’s premature demise had left him with the task of finding suitable matches for their daughters? And what of a misleading encounter on a muddy lane in Hertfordshire, that renders a country-town assembly rather more tolerable than some might have thought?

Shades of mystery, meddlesome relations - not least a drenched Adonis - raillery, old errors and a very recent union make for a challenging courtship when Fitzwilliam Darcy is not on his own ground. Yet when love is the reward, challenges make it more worth the earning.

“A fraught courtship? So, let it be fraught,” Colonel Fitzwilliam said with a nonchalant flourish of his hand. “A good challenge never hurt anyone.”

I liked Mr Bennett’s bizarre second marriage, the little intrigue of poison, and happy marriages for all, particularly Mrs Bennett’s simple triumph. The Ghostly bit was a bit silly but put me in fine spirits. Zimmerman’s narrative talent saved the story, particularly all the various characters’ inflections and tones. I think it’s a good one-off listen in the big range of P&P variations. It would make an entertaining teenage film or series.

Happy endings, and Rosings madcap adventures!

I love this authors works, and I love anything that Stevie Zimmerman narrates. I must admit to a little hesitation when I started to read this story; not like anything Joana has written before.

The writing, the characters and the plot all combine to make this work a joyful experience. I cannot say more without leaving massive spoilers but I am sure if you love Pride and Prejudice and the characters within that story, then you will love the Darcy Legacy.

Highly recommend.

Another winner from Joana.

Thoroughly enjoyable with excellent narration. An excellent twist at the end that was totally unexpected.

Wonderfully inventive.
