The Accidental Letter

A Novella Based on Pride and Prejudice

By: Melissa Anne

Narrated by: Emily Wylie

A short, angst-free novella that occurs in the months after Hunsford. Darcy, realizing his mistakes, confesses his misdeeds to Bingley earlier, even before Elizabeth has the chance to visit Pemberley. As a result, Bingley returns to Hertfordshire in June, while Darcy retreats to Pemberley to reflect on his actions.

Meanwhile, Elizabeth, who has discovered her love for Darcy, writes a heartfelt letter expressing her newfound feelings. However, she unintentionally loses the letter, which she had intended not to post, but just as a way to express what she felt.

Unexpectedly, Bingley stumbles upon the misplaced letter and, assuming it was Elizabeth's intention to have him deliver it, promptly sends it to Darcy. Although Bingley is aware that there has been a disagreement between Darcy and Elizabeth, he remains unaware of the details.

Upon receiving the letter, Darcy is filled with a mix of emotions and promptly makes his way to Hertfordshire to seek clarification and resolve their misunderstandings.

This is a short novella of around 25,000 words and is written with minimal angst, ensuring that our dear couple, Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet, ultimately find their happily ever after.

Story peaks at Chapter 3

This premise is cute but unfortunately the story peaks in Chapter three and there really isn’t much of a story after that.
The narration unfortunately is overly dramatic and distracts from the cute love story.

A lovely quick read

A good story and wonderful narration, It is a very lovely book to listen to when you need a shorter but still satisfying book.

Cute, but corny

It was my first time hearing this narrator; she's fantastic. This was a fun premise, but it was corny at times. The author had some repetitive phraseology, but I liked this iteration!

Cute, short, and sweet.

I liked the narrator, a little slow. I had to speed it up. Spoiler alert: was sad for Mr. Bennet. Happy for my favorite couple, Elizabeth and Darcy.

Enjoyable low angst novella

The road to HEA is short , so we get a wonderful courtship between E&D. The way everyone finds out they are engaged is quite amusing.
