The Best of Relations - A Pride & Prejudice Variation
What if... Aunt Gardiner, who after all hailed from Lambton, was well acquainted with the Darcy family, and knew of Wickham's misdemeanours? How would the story have been different? This tale begins with an exchange of letters between Elizabeth Bennet and her favourite aunt, discussing the happenings in Hertfordshire as the Bennet family become acquainted with their new neighbours, the Bingleys and their house guest Mr Darcy.

So glad Mary found someone!
Thank you for this story variation. I really enjoyed the new story lines, especially Mary having a happy ending and Lydia being reigned in. ❤️🙏

And Lydia does badly need reining in!
Thank you for Mary's storyline. I have always felt badly for her.

If so, I recommed you listen o read, "Return to Longbourn," by Shannon Winslow. In my opinion, the best Pride and Prejudice Variation, purely around Mary!
This was lovely & I’m so happy for Mary, fancy writing this & narrating it as well, you did a superb job on both fronts. Many thanks xxx

Thanks Nancy! This is a re-release as unfortunately there was a problem with the initial file, so you might have heard it before!

A good book is always worth an other read or listen.

I'm listening for the 3rd time.
Very sweet. A nice little “what if” and one of the better Pride & Prejudice spin offs I’ve read/heard.
How clever to write and narrate such a charming variation. I enjoyed this greatly. ;)

Glad you enjoyed it!
I loved this book. I would have liked to have heard a letter penned from Aunt Gardener to Jane and Mary and their responses. Thank you for giving Mary such a wonderful ending.
One of my favorite variations. Edit: still one of my favorites after the 3rd listen. Edit: 4th listen Edit: still love to hear the "set down" Collins gets.😢
Ottimo! molto gradevole bellissima variazione, rispettati i canoni dell'originale, bravissima 👏👏😊

Absolutely lovely
I like only stories like this one,that skips slobbering housewife porn.
Loved this variation.
Fresco godibile. ❤
Thank you 🌺
Thank you!!! ❤❤❤
I think I would have like some type of suspenseful moment, such as Whickam escaping, or Lydia running away. But I did like it a lot.
Thank you I am listening for the second time I love your take on the Pride and Prejudice characters.
White nice to see the parallel universe of Jane Austen.
Thank you so much. I’ve really enjoyed this audiobook.❤
Oh goodness... how I was made a scullery “servant-of-all” things in my marriage... a cook and a launder-maid, a gardener and a nurse maid, a housekeeper and a personal maid, a governess and a tutor, a steward and a secretary, a grate cleaner and a waste-pot emptier, a keeper and a maintainer of chickens, and sheep and dogs and cats... etc.etc.etc.... How such a gentle woman as myself had allowed myself to be brought so low...?😪 All my dreams of balls and dresses and quiet walks and cheery visits to such and such friends... Wait, do I have any friends left? ... hm.. Never mind. Just. Never mind 😭 I better stop listening to these kinds of dreamy stories and get back to reality 🤦🏻♀️👍🏻 After all, most of women these days are in such maid-of-all situations anyway... “Oh well, I guess a ball just has to wait...”
Thank you
Lydia is kind of a brat.
