A Very Merry Mix-Up

A Pride and Prejudice Novelette

By: Jennifer Redlarczyk

Narrated by: Catherine Bilson

It all began when Fitzwilliam Darcy and his cousin Colonel Richard Fitzwilliam stopped at the posting station in Bromley on their way to Rosings Park for their annual visit. Looking for some diversion, the good colonel happened upon a local Romani woman who was selling her people’s treasured moon wine. Find out what happens to some of our favorite Jane Austen characters when her advice is ignored in a very merry mix-up.

Not my type of story

Not so sure why I bought it. It was not as fun as I thought. I do like the narrator and that might be why. Not a reread for me.

Enjoyable

A very enjoyable short story with multiple body swaps between a few main characters during Lizzy’s stay at Hunsford. It created a lot of funny situations, unpredictable and predictable reactions from persons involved. Darcy and Lizzy had a chance to work together and know each other better. Both the story and the narration blended very well and gave me a pleasurable afternoon.
Highly recommended

A very quick read / listen - body swap story

This is a very quick read / listen to story that can be done in one sitting and is perfect for April Fools or any time of the year. Note to self - dont buy wine from a mysterious lady. But the overall time is funny as anyone who drank from this wine woke up the next morning for some surprises. Through this change attitudes, pride, prejudices are cleared rather quickly and friendships are formed. The downfall is you will not remember the changes when you wake up the following day. How do our favorite couple remember their new opinions of each other and their understanding? Read or listen to find out.

Short sweet and romantic

This is the short-short version of the events between Huntsford and the HEA with none of the angst or the ugly proposal. You already know about body switching but you don’t know what happens afterwards unless you’ve read the book. So enjoyable I know I will use this again and again as a little mind cleanser after crying through an angst filled saga. If you’re like me even having read a book multiple times I still find it enjoyable to sit back (or do chores) and have someone else tell me the story. Recommended!!

Delightful Novella

This is a delightful novella featuring a body-swap trope. I loved the writing by Jennifer Redlarczyk and the performance by Catherine Bilson very well done. I received a promotional code for this book from the author with no promise of a review. I do recommend this very pleasing listen.
