About this listen

Lydia's last chance. Will she improve when someone takes the trouble to check her?

Running off with Mr. Wickham was a great joke - until everything turned arsey-varsey.

That spoilsport Mr. Darcy caught them and packed Lydia off to a hideous boarding school for girls who had lost their virtue.

It would improve her character, he said.

Ridiculous, she said.

Mrs. Drummond, the school’s headmistress, has shocking expectations for the girls. They must share rooms, do chores, attend lessons, and engage in charitable work, no matter how well born they might be. She even forces them to wear mobcaps! Refusal could lead to finding themselves at the receiving end of Mrs. Drummond's cane - if they were lucky. The unlucky ones could be dismissed and found a position...as a menial servant.

Everything and everyone at the school is uniformly horrid. Lydia hates them all, except possibly the music master, Mr. Amberson, who seems to have the oddest ideas about her. He might just understand her better than she understands herself.

Can she find a way to live up to his strange expectations, or will she spend the rest of her life as a scullery maid?

Amazing

Don't skip this because it is about Lydia. Generally she is not a likable character, but in this book Lydia matures and learns lessons that change her into a most likable person. The new characters, her schoolmates, are extremely interesting. Some are good people and some are not. I was totally immersed in this story and listened to it nonstop. It really is a wonderful book.

Fantastic Story Development

I literally skipped this book in the series because I cannot stand Lydia but finally made myself read it only to find I love it and will reread many, many times!
