About this listen
In this angsty fusion of two of Jane Austen’s most beloved novels, Pride & Prejudice and Sense & Sensibility, the actions of their sisters cause challenging chain reactions for one of literature’s most celebrated couples....
Fitzwilliam Darcy is faced with a family crisis of epic proportions after the fallout of his sister Georgiana’s ill-fated elopement in Ramsgate, while his friend Charles Bingley is persuaded to abandon his scheme of renting Netherfield Park.
Elizabeth Bennet journeys to London to recover her spirits after Jane’s unexpected marriage changes the sisters’ relationship forever, and despite an attempted reconciliation, Jane is revealed to be far from the angel Elizabeth has always admired.
The bonds of friendship offer Elizabeth a lifeline after a series of tragic events causes her to fear for her future. The support she receives from her new neighbor Marianne Brandon and snarky socialite Lady Rebecca Fitzwilliam may yet prove to heal her broken heart and bring her closer to a happily ever after. The wide array of characters from throughout Austen’s works teach Elizabeth Bennet that she is truly happier in her friends than relations.
Author's note:
Please note that this volume has been heavily edited and revised since original publication, based on suggestions from previous reviewers.
This is book one out of a three-book series. Most storylines will be resolved by the conclusion of this story, but minor characters' stories will be left not fully resolved, for continuation in book two and book three. The Friends & Relations series is an epic saga that peers into the lives of all of Jane's Austen's heroines, imagining them to inhabit a world where their lives and families are intertwined. Throughout this series, characters from all of Jane Austen's major works will be revealed to have existing familial relationships and will forge new connections as well. As the lives of so many beloved Austen characters weave together, this series will address the question of what if all of Austen's works had taken place in the same world...a world where overlap was possible and surprises hide around every corner....

great story terrible performance
this is an absolutely fabulous story unfortunately the performance lets it down. mispronunciation of simple words make the reader sound like a pretentious nit wit eligible is pronounced as legible everytime. Chapter 6 is full a editorial clitches which almost made me turn it off. there numerous repeated sections throughout chapters which was really disappointing. why do some readers feel they have make up words to enhance their performance it doesn't it detracts from the quality of the narrative. this should be fixed.

Good story - need better editing
One of my favorite stories, was looking forward to listening to it while on my daily commute, however poor editing ruined it. Chaper six full of hand clapping and repeated lines followed by repeated attempts to prounce excubrance, probably was meant to to be edited out. That the voice was lovely but I wouldn't buy until the editing is fixed.
