A number of broken-hearted characters from Jane Austen's best novels are thrown together by the vagaries of fate, and all manner of unwise decisions are taken at this vulnerable time. But then their past creeps up upon them - and what is there to do but face it, and hope that their convoluted paths will finally lead them to their proper place?
Friends, rivals, foes, wrong choices, and a duel - Fitzwilliam Darcy's life is never dull! The Subsequent Proposal - a story that is primarily about him - follows Mr. Darcy in his struggles to decipher the troubling enigma of Elizabeth Bennet's feelings - and to correct the worst misjudgment of his life....

Only fault bus it’s quite short (6hours) compared with other books so didn’t feel as good value but that is a criticism of audible.
Very clever and enjoyable mix of 2 classics

If you could sum up The Subsequent Proposal: A Tale of Pride, Prejudice & Persuasion in three words, what would they be?
Angst, misjudgement, misunderstandingsWhat was one of the most memorable moments of The Subsequent Proposal: A Tale of Pride, Prejudice & Persuasion?
The interactions between Darcy and Captain Wentworth are brilliant!What about Stevie Zimmerman’s performance did you like?
Stevie Zimmerman speaks beautifully. Her pace, tone and expression is always spot on. The voices for each character are distinctive. I think her Colonel Fitzwilliam is my favourite.... although her Mrs Bennet is annoying brilliant too!Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I had so many emotional reactions to this book. I was frustrated, anxious, impatient and laughing out loud - sometimes experiencing all these things within a few minute period.Any additional comments?
This story starts with Mr. Darcy proposing to Anne Elliott! The angst starts from almost the first sentence! Both agree to a marriage of convenience as neither believe they can marry the one they truly love. Mr Darcy makes his assumption as he does not meet with Elizabeth again following his proposal at Huntsford.I really enjoyed so many aspects of this book but found myself frustrated that Darcy proposes to Anne without any effort to talk to Elizabeth after giving her his letter. He is sad and lonely, acting for duty and he pines. It's all very sad. Then I experienced a real conflict like I've never experienced before.... I thought Anne would actually be a good match for him. I really liked her!
I loved Darcy's interaction with Captain Wentworth, they squabble like children!
I think this is a 4.5 for me.... not my favourite book by this author, although to be honest, I'm not really sure why as I did enjoy it and liked all the characters and the lovely humour. The interaction with Darcy and Elizabeth was generally very serious and Mr Darcy was responsible for his own misery so I had less patience with him!
Get ready for a roller coaster!!

My favourite parts are when Darcy struggles for words and when he observes his intended. The descriptions are so brilliantly written, and narrated, they leave goosebumps on my skin. Indeed, Stevie did NOT disappoint, again. I adore listening to her voice; she does female voices, as well as male ones, justice, and very convincingly as well.
What a clever idea to combine P&P with Persuasion.
Another 5 stars out of 5 from me.
Another corker of a book
