About this listen

Whispers of Pemberley is a trilogy where each book stands on its own as a romance novel, yet the stories are interconnected through direct or subtle nods to Jane Austen’s literature and characters.
The inaugural volume, Elizabeth and Darcy 1800, is a variation of Pride and Prejudice—a creative twist setting the foundation for the series. In this adaptation, Elizabeth Bennet embarks on a journey as a writer, echoing the life and struggles of Jane Austen herself.
The subsequent volumes, while maintaining the iconic names of the main characters, Elizabeth and Darcy, explore the lives of individuals from the 1900s and 2000s, bound by a singular commonality—their admiration for Jane Austen’s oeuvre. In each story, an Elizabeth and a Darcy are brought together through an extraordinary twist of fate, celebrating the enduring life of Austen’s world across the centuries.
Elizabeth & Darcy 1900 was published a few years ago. This edition doesn’t offer anything substantially different for readers who have already purchased or read it.
From the beginning, this romance was intended to be part of the Whispers of Pemberley series.
The characters and plot are rooted in one of Elizabeth Bennet’s final remarks at the end of the first volume, Elizabeth & Darcy 1800.
“I hope,” she said, “that in a century, an Elizabeth—a descendant of our family—will study at Oxford and choose her profession long before thinking of marriage.”
A century after the death of her great-grandaunt, Elizabeth Austen studied at Somerville College in Oxford, founded in 1879 as Somerville Hall, one of Oxford’s first women’s colleges that emerged that year.
She had seemingly fulfilled that wish many women had at the beginning of the 19th century, yet her life was far from the peaceful existence Jane Austen imagined at Longbourn or Pemberley.
Amidst the chaos of war, death, and devastation, Elizabeth’s life is torn between her duty to her nation and her unexpected love for a man. By a curious coincidence, his name is Darcy, yet their fate together seems to deviate from the characters of Jane Austen’s novel.
Both heavily experiencing the upheavals of the war, they are forced by circumstance to collaborate on an introductory study of Jane Austen’s work, set to be published at Oxford a century after her death. Alongside her ‘Darcy’, Elizabeth Austen embarks on an exploratory journey into an Austenesque realm that, far from fading, seems more vibrant and immediate than ever before.
Elizabeth & Darcy 1900 is a magnificent love story that reflects the immense changes that the new century brought to society and family, prompting the young woman to ponder with growing anxiety, ‘What is the legacy my aunt bequeathed to me at the beginning of the 20th century?’ whilst realising that her life in 1916 was far from what her aunt could have imagined for her descendants.
Yet, in the solitude of their love, Elizabeth and Darcy in 1916 find themselves entangled in the same plots, emotions, joys, and predicaments depicted in Jane Austen’s novels. “All is new in the external world, but nothing has changed within us!” exclaimed Darcy.
In 1800, in the peace of her home in rural England, this incredible lady depicted her world, which proved to be a complete fresco of human nature that remained valid over the centuries no matter where progress led the human race.
Elizabeth Austen stands as living proof that her aunt Jane will forever live on in every woman who steadfastly searches for her place in the world alongside her man. At the same time, Darcy represents the noble gentleman who supports, assists, observes, and profoundly loves those independent, intelligent women embodying Jane Austen’s ideals.
