Publisher's Summary

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.

Fabulous

I have listened to so much JAFF and this is easily in my top 5. Jeannie Peneaux captures Lizzy’s wit better than just about anyone else, and the narrator is fabulous. With epistolary novels, the variation is voices is crucial, and Liz Mae Brice nails it. I’ve listened to this one twice already and will no doubt do so again.

Highly engaging

This is a very enjoyable, creative and engaging P&P variation. Quite unique in that it is all letters written to others, which was frustrating at times as I wanted more details immediately but had to wait for the next letter! I would have liked more details on Lizzy and Darcy's romance and feelings leading to, as well as after, their marriage. I chose this title as it was the highest rating after a google search when I felt overwhelmed by the sheer number of variations available. Narration was excellent.
