Publisher's summary
Disheartened and convinced by Elizabeth's assertion of Miss Bingley's character, Jane Bennet insists Elizabeth return to London with the Gardiners after Christmas to provide her with a reprieve from their mother, who has not accepted Elizabeth's rejection of Mr. Collins's suit.
What Elizabeth could never have imagined was her chance meeting with Mr. Darcy in London, and even more shocking is his request to introduce her to his sister, Miss Georgiana Darcy. When Elizabeth agrees, she makes the young heiress's acquaintance, immediately understanding Miss Darcy's crippling shyness and her low spirits.
Amid her interactions with Miss Darcy, Elizabeth learns another astonishing fact, that Mr. Darcy looks at her with the eyes of a suitor. Though Elizabeth's world is turned upside down, she learns there is more to Mr. Darcy than she ever thought. She also learns to be wary of the claims of a man who took advantage of her initial dislike for the gentleman.
With her usual fortitude, Elizabeth navigates these shoals, determined to provide friendship to a young girl, learn more about the increasingly intriguing Mr. Darcy, and discover the truth about Mr. Bingley's abandonment of her sister.

Story
1703. The wild east coast of Scotland. Returning to her home town of Pittenweem, fishwife and widow Sorcha McIntyre knows she faces both censure and mistrust. After all, this is a country where myth and legend are woven into the fabric of the everyday, a time when those who defy custom like Sorcha are called to account. It is dangerous to be a clever woman who 'doesn't know her place' in Pittenweem - a town rife with superstition. So, when a young local falls victim to witchcraft, the Reverend Cowper and the townsfolk know who to blame.

Low angst and a soft read
A most lovely soft and easy read. With the fabulous Harry narrating and low angst, this tale is great on a quiet day and a cup of your favorite tea. This one goes in my favorites for multiple re-read (listening).

Only Exceedingly Shy
I liked this audiobook so much that I’ve already listened to it twice. Elizabeth is more rational in this story, even to the point of nearly disregarding Wickham’s lies. I really appreciate that. Darcy is also not overly proud and even jokes about making an arrogant proposal. Georgianna helps Darcy realize his feelings and prods him to get on with it. Harry Frost does a great job bringing emotions and humor to the audio. He could read the phone book aloud and get rave reviews! (Readers under 30 may have to Google “phone book”.)

Such a wonderful variation with Harry Frost narration!!!
I enjoyed this variation focusing on the budding realtionship between Elizabeth and Georgiana, leaving the romance of Lizzy and Darcy as slow burn in the background.
Harry's voices of the characters were excellent as always. Especially the way he captures Miss Bingley's shrill hautiness and distain,
I love seeing my favorite authors teaming up with my favorite narrators.

Great narrator; weak milquetoast story
I love Harry Frost’s work. This is the first book I’ve listened to by this author as I didn’t care for the prior narrator.
If low/no angst is your thing, this book is for you.
I admit my mind wandered continuously as many times as I went back and listened again. I really was terrifically bored. I know there are several fans within the genre who appreciate stories that have zero conflict. For myself, however, I have always found conflict important to moving a story along. This is more of a “jaunty little tale” than it is an engaging novel. I do wish I hadn’t had to pay for it though… $13 is a heavy price for something that I don’t even remember how it ends.

Flawless Performance by Harry Frost
The story was enjoyable—a sweet, zero angst listen. I liked Aunt Gardiner’s subtle but firm cautionary advice for Elizabeth not judging Darcy too harshly while he was in Meryton, not knowing the possible reasons behind his behaviour. Elizabeth befriends Georgiana at the behest of Darcy, who accidentally meets Elizabeth in London following the departure of the Netherfield party in Hertfordshire. The writing was good, but the story was a bit anti-climactic with a very abrupt ending which left the story feeling incomplete.
I am still very happy to recommend Harry Frost’s flawless narration and performance which made up for the story’s lack of perfection. Harry Frost is an auto-buy narrator in this genre for me.

Elizabeth to town instead of Jane
I liked that Elizabeth goes to town instead of Jane and is able to get wise counsel from her aunt about everything that has happened. Because of this she is already thinking differently about Darcy and Wickham before she comes across Darcy in the park. Darcy invites Elizabeth to be a friend to his sister and to see if she can help pull her from the shell she has encased herself in. The friendship and eventual trust was nice to witness. Things progress faster than Canon due to the change in who goes to town. I had both the ebook and audiobook and the narration by Harry Frost was wonderful. Will I read or listen again? Yes!
