About this listen

This story was inspired by my favorite Christmas movie, “It’s A Wonderful Life” with Jimmy Stewart. Whilst my story does not follow that plot, I wanted to write a tale about an angel who helps Elizabeth Bennet one bleak Christmas. Here is the blurb for “An Angel In Her Pocket.”

Life had been hard for Elizabeth Bennet in the months since she refused Mr. Darcy’s proposal at Kent. Lydia eloped with Mr. Wickham, and her father died shortly thereafter. Mr. Collins took possession of Longbourn, forcing her family to live apart to survive. She and Jane left to live in London with the Gardiners, and Elizabeth’s hope of finding employment there was fading quickly as Christmas approached.

Grace Angelini is on a mission from St. Peter to right a wrong. For her plan to work, Fitzwilliam Darcy has to overcome his pride and propose to Elizabeth Bennet a second time, although neither is a part of the other’s circle. Undeterred, Grace does her best to unite the couple by securing a position for Elizabeth as Darcy’s goddaughter’s governess.

Will Grace’s help prove to be a blessing or a curse when Elizabeth’s position is put in peril through no fault of her own?

This is a short JA variation but a sweet little story as Elizabeth Bennet's guardian angel tries to sort out her and Mr Darcy. Well narrated too.

I received a free copy of this audiobook from the author.

This is a very easy story for a quick read/listen. It leans to the fairytale both in the overall plot and in the way it is executed.

I confess I found the little girl a bit implausible. She is supposed to have just turned four year she is doing full on lessons and her language is too adult by far. The simplest thing would have been to make her 8. The plot would have been unchanged and I would have found it more plausible by far.

Overall - I liked it but I didn't love it.
