About this listen

Step into the warm holiday glow of Pemberley Estate and witness an unexpected romance unfold in Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley. At last, bookish middle sister, Mary Bennet—forever eclipsed by her sisters’ romantic escapades—takes center stage.

Mary’s world brightens with possibility when a surprising gentleman arrives for Christmas at the Darcy residence. Their shared intellectual passions and endearing social awkwardness create immediate sparks. Capturing the essence of Jane Austen's beloved masterpiece while infusing it with crackling contemporary wit and humor, this delightful continuation breathes new life into the cherished characters and world of Pride and Prejudice.

Available in Dolby Atmos on Audible.

Editorial Review

Oh, Mary!
It is a truth universally acknowledged that Mary Bennet is among Jane Austen’s most dour characters—but all she needed was a proper storyline. She gets one in this audio adaptation of a hit regional play by Lauren Gunderson ( The Half-Life of Marie Curie) and theater director Margot Melcon. We meet the pianoforte-pounding book-nerd Mary as she arrives at Pemberley to spend the holidays with Lizzie and Mr. Darcy. Glum about her dull life at Longbourn, Mary perks up after meeting the map-mad Mr. de Bourgh. Soon, a bevy of Bennet sisters, along with brothers-in-law Darcy and Bingley, conspire to give Mary her happier ending. It’s a plummy confection arriving just in time to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Austen’s birth on December 16.—Maggie M., Audible Editor

I loved it - it’s fun to listen to it feels like you’re watching it. Very witty with well known quotes added as inside jokes.I loved Mary’s character. However I found it hard that Lydia and Anne de Burgh and Lydia would ever be friends. Would loved to have seen this on stage
