About this listen

Mrs. Bennet and her sister are bound for Bath to take the waters. The mistress of Longbourn could not part from her duties if it were not for Mrs. Gardiner of Gracechurch Street. At Elizabeth’s request, her favorite aunt has offered to take up residence for the few months Mrs. Bennet is absent. Mrs. Bennet may doubt that her brother’s wife could manage her family even half as well as she, but as she considers the attractions of Bath, she assures herself that no permanent alterations could possibly be made.

Aunt Gardiner hopes otherwise.

Mrs. Gardiner Takes a Hand, the seventh Pride and Prejudice variation by Jeannie Peneaux, is an epistolary novel. Letters are sent to the most surprising people and read with varying degrees of alarm and pleasure.

I love everything by this author. The letter-writing style works well and the narrator does great variation of the character voices. I love how the reader can read between the lines and realise all the stuff that's going on in the background, of which the letter-writers are ignorant! Mary's romance is lovely. And Aunt Gardiner does a splendid job of sorting out the Bennets!

Excellent low-angst variation

Absolutely adored this book. The story was excellent and the way it was told made it even better.
The performance is perfect - the narrator did a wonderful job, without changing her voice too much she was able to give very distinct tones for each person.
I would 100% recommend this book.
