Elizabeth Grace
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

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.
If you only listen to one JAFF, make it this one!

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.
