About this listen

After a great deal of romantic strife, Maria Lucas finds herself married to Mr. Jonas Card in a desperate attempt to extricate herself and her sister Charlotte from a dire financial situation. Mr. Card, however, truly loves Maria and has vowed to woo her. Alas, she views him only in friendly terms. But when it seems that Mr. Card's feelings have changed, Maria sets out to discover why. And through a series of unexpected events, Mr. Card succeeds in wooing his wife without saying a word.

Maria Lucas is a post script to the novel Charlotte Collins: A Continuation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. As such, it contains minor spoilers, but it can be listened to as a stand-alone piece.

Wooden performance and story too short

I purchased this title to fill the gap in the series as I have previously enjoyed the books written by this author. Not so this one. The narrator persists in mispronouncing the lead character’s name which is spelt Maria but always pronounced Mariah. Secondly her delivery is very clipped and in an almost staccato voice. The story showed great promise at the beginning but was all to conveniently ended before or has the chance to get to know and love the characters. I knew it was short but didn’t expect the ending to come as soon as it did. So no, Audible, I did not enjoy this program!
