SUDDENLY MRS. DARCY

Narrator Lillian Rachel does an excellent job bringing to life this twist on Jane Austen's PRIDE AND PREJUDICE. In this offering, strong-willed and independent Elizabeth Bennet is forced to wed handsome and stoic Fitzwilliam Darcy when Mrs. Bennet claims Darcy has compromised Elizabeth. Can two near-strangers find love after such difficult beginnings? Rachel captures each character with a distinct voice and British accent, making each easily recognizable. Her timbre, and acting abilities remain front and center. There are enough twists and turns to make this story fresh and new and enough of the original to ensure that it's still familiar and comfortable. This is a lovely listen, beautifully narrated and well acted. A.C.P. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2021]
