Acerca de esta escucha

Samantha's only friends were characters in books, but her real life takes an extraordinary turn when a mysterious "Mr. Knightley" offers her a full journalism scholarship — on the condition that she write to him regularly. Will their long-distance friendship unlock her heart?

Sam is, to say the least, bookish. An English major of the highest order, her diet has always been Austen, Dickens, and Shakespeare. The problem is that both her prose and conversation tend to be more Elizabeth Bennet than Samantha Moore.

But life for the 23-year-old orphan is about to get stranger than fiction. An anonymous, Dickensian benefactor calling himself Mr. Knightley offers to put Sam through Northwestern University’s prestigious Medill School of Journalism. There is only one catch: Sam must write frequent letters to the mysterious donor, detailing her progress.

Sam’s letters to Mr. Knightley become increasingly confessional as she begins to share everything from her painful childhood memories to her growing feelings for eligible novelist Alex Powell. While Alex draws Sam into a world of warmth and literature that feels like it’s straight out of a book, old secrets are drawn to light. And as Sam learns to love and trust Alex and herself, she learns once again how quickly trust can be broken.

Reminding us all that our own true character is not meant to be hidden, Katherine Reay’s debut novel follows a young woman’s journey as she sheds her protective persona and embraces the person she was meant to become.

Praise for Dear Mr. Knightley:

“Katherine Reay’s Dear Mr. Knightley kept me up until 2:00 a.m.; I simply couldn’t put it down.”(Eloisa James, New York Times best-selling author of Once Upon a Tower)

“Sprinkled with classic literary references and filled with poignant characterizations, Katherine Reay’s modern retelling of Jean Webster’s Daddy-Long-Legs is both reverently crafted and delightfully surprising.” (Lauren Ann Nattress, Austenprose.com)

“Katherine Reay’s touching debut novel made me cry in all the right places. For joy.” (Laurie Viera Rigler, author of Rude Awakenings of a Jane Austen Addict)

Loved the story and the narration. Didn't figure out the ending until near the end.

Enjoyable

I've read the book before and LOVED it. I wasn't a fan of the choice for narration though... she didn't match how I heard Sam in my head. But I still cried and stayed up way too late to finish it. happy sigh. and it's still one of my favorite.

one of my absolute favorites

I loved this story so much…until the ending. The storyline was so good and I loved Sam, but the ending felt too rushed and too stilted. I wanted two more chapters to seal everything.

I wanted more at the end

I enjoyed the story overall, but the narrator did a poor job. She was robotic and stilted throughout the whole book. It didn’t ruin the story, but definitely pulled me out of it at times.

Stilted narrator

I liked this a lot, but the "discover" did not come off well...both the main characters seemed selfish and wrong at this point. LOVED the descriptions of places I actually have gone to sprinkled throughout the book. The story itself is really sweet and is read well

A more modern "Daddy Long Legs"

This is the best audible I have read in a long time. Sweet love story and CLEAN!! Thank you for writing a story that leaves out the inappropriate love scenes. Yet captures every heart warming emotion of a wonderful love story. So good. I didn’t get any of the references towards the books and it didn’t ruin the story for me at all. Worth getting. Choose this book!

BEST STORY!!

This is one of my new favorites! I enjoyed the transformation the lead character underwent and found myself rooting for her. The ending was a surprise, but an awesome one. I highly recommend this book!

Couldn’t stop listening!

Written in the style of Daddy Long Legs, the reader follow the protagonist's life through a series of letters. This book made me laugh and cry as the author shed light on some of the more seedier sides of the foster care system, but shows that God's love follows us through every circumstance. I would highly recommend.

Sweet, emotionally engaging story.

I enjoyed this book more than I expected. I especially liked all the references to classic books, Austen, Brontë, etc.

Good read

As a fan of all Janes books I sincerely appreciate the quotes and the flow of the story. I truly enjoyed that other literature was brought into the story line also. What fun. I am sure I will give this another listen!
