Elizabeth Grace
About this listen
Autumn, 1812: Certain his second proposal will be rejected, Darcy does not return to Hertfordshire–or to Elizabeth Bennet.
Spring, 1837: When his nephew falls in love with her niece, Darcy and Elizabeth are bound to meet again.
How many steps does it take to find a way back to the person you have always loved?
Dear Listeners: While I would characterize this book as one about love, light, and the happiness we can make for ourselves, the novel does contain non-graphic references to rape and incest. I understand that these are sensitive topics, and I would not wish for any listener to suffer as a result of coming across these references without warning. Many thanks to the reviewer who gave feedback on this topic.
With best wishes for all, Christina

WHEN MR. FITZWILLIAM DARCY RETURNS to Hertfordshire a year after last seeing Elizabeth Bennet, he is surprised to find that she has taken up careering around the countryside in a brand new curricle. Even more surprising is the manner in which their verbal sparring turns to good humor, banter, and flirtation. So much so that her neighbors begin to wonder if their attachment is more than just friendly.

Story
Mr. Darcy is unmarriageable. Every time he shows any interest in a lady, be it casual or serious, the lady disappears or has disaster befall her. Soon, society spreads gossip that he is cursed, and mamas and daughters alike shun his company. Some unknown nemesis keeps the rumors alive, and soon, he suspects he will never find happiness until he discovers who wants him ruined. In Meryton, a humbled Mr. Darcy finds himself drawn to a local beauty. Ever cautious that the villain behind his misfortune is watching, he takes great pains to keep his courtship a secret.

When Elizabeth and Georgiana learned that Fitzwilliam was captured, they kept writing letters to him, so that when he was released, he would know that he had not been forgotten by those who loved him.

She certainly does not expect Mr Darcy to be among the guests—or for a single moment of unexpected tenderness in the rose garden to turn her world upside down. When Darcy gallantly tends a scratch on her hand, binding it with his own cravat before sheltering her from a sudden spring storm, it ought to be nothing more than a fleeting kindness. But the next morning, his cravat is found—tangled scandalously among the garden ...

Story
When a Cravat and a Rose Thorn Change Everything... Elizabeth Bennet returns to Netherfield expecting nothing more than a pleasant visit with her newly married sister. She certainly does not expect Mr Darcy to be among the guests—or for a single moment of unexpected tenderness in the rose garden to turn her world upside down. When Darcy gallantly tends a scratch on her hand, binding it with his own cravat before sheltering her from a sudden spring storm, it ought to be nothing more than a fleeting kindness. But the next morning, his cravat is found—tangled scandalously among the garden ...

“Tell me about this mysterious stranger,” Elizabeth requested. “You mean the Chinaman?” Charlotte clarified. “What does he look like?” “I don’t know,” Charlotte replied. “I thought your mother had met him,” Elizabeth reminded her. “No. The delivery boy told my mother about him. He was bringing a supply of meat and vegetables and reported on what he had heard when he took supplies to the Red Lion.” “So, no one has actually seen him?” Elizabeth asked, incredulous. “All I know is that the man from China is tall, looks to be a proper English gentleman and is ...

This is the 2nd edition of this book, updated for minor typos and formatting. It is the same book as published in 2023, it is not a new book. At the age of 13 Elizabeth Bennet met her reclusive neighbours and from that moment her life was changed forever. She learned the realities of life in Regency England for a young woman. What she learned disappointed and annoyed her, resulting in a young woman who held herself, and those around her, to a high standard. Rather than keep her constrained like so many young women, her neighbours encouraged her to be whatever she wanted. And if she wanted ...

Story
While staying true to the characters of Jane Austen's much loved tale, this novel takes Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy on a much different journey than Austen did in Pride and Prejudice. Although family and society expect Fitzwilliam Darcy to ignore his heart and “marry well,” soon after entering Meryton, he falls in love with the woman of his dreams. The problem is, while she is perfect for him in disposition, the lady is far below him in everything that matters to his peers and relations: wealth and connexions. Past experiences have convinced Miss Elizabeth Bennet that ...

Therefore, the audiobook had a lot to live up to! It is fitting that Elizabeth Grace was tapped to narrate this bittersweet masterpiece. The cast of characters is extensive, and Elizabeth Grace imbues each of them with nuance, distinction, and vivid life. Her narration is exquisite, emotive, and well paced.

What gives Seasons of Waiting such staying power is that it's not only about Elizabeth and Darcy. Their story here is compelling by itself: What if Darcy believed a second proposal would not be welcomed, and they live their lives apart until finding each other again? But what makes the book such a stunner is that it's also about Elizabeth's namesake niece and Darcy's namesake nephew falling for each other, and -- in fact -- about the ways that all the other key people in their lives intersect with them. Lydia has a particularly memorable chapter.
Christina Morland takes us back and forth in time, which means we can appreciate the impact of a 25-year-wait while getting all the enjoyment of watching the inevitability of Elizabeth and Darcy's reunion play out. I think the story is also telling us something about time: We all experience it differently, and its passage when we're not yet one-and-twenty isn't the same as when we're quite a bit older.
What I love most about the book is that it shows the rich lives Elizabeth and Darcy build for themselves in each other's absence, even as they never stop feeling the loss of what could have been (and ultimately comes to pass). This story is not a tragedy. It's a celebration.
Seasons of Waiting is clearly a challenge for a narrator, with its large cast of characters and two pairs of love interests. Elizabeth Grace made it sound easy. I never lost track of who was speaking, marveled at the emotion she layered in and lived in this masterpiece of an audiobook for days.

This audiobook by Christina Morland, beautifully narrated by Elizabeth Grace, is well worth one—or two—thoughtful listens. And at some 27 hours of audiobook, that's saying something.
Morland is adept at crafting nail-biting scenes of suspense, longing for our dear couples, and building up to a tantalizingly satisfying ending. A beautifully crafted historical romance, expertly characterizing Austen originals and new. This tautly plotted saga from “Pride and Prejudice” to 1837 is told in layers, not a linear timeline at all, yet a web — tales woven together over and around a twenty five-year span. This is just the kind of story that has me coming back to Jane Austen-inspired books over and over again. In a field of many Austenesque romances, this incomparable audiobook has much to recommend! Not to be missed. One of my forever favorites!
Incomparable! A must for any Austen fan.
