Book one of two
After the death of her spouse, the Dowager Duchess of Felton takes up residence in her property, Netherfield Park. Having met the Bennets on her previous visit to the estate, Lady Felton decides that taking an interest in Mr. Bennet's older daughters will help give her some purpose and distraction from her personal grief.
Arriving with her guest, Anne de Bourgh, and her godson, Colonel Richard Fitzwilliam, the duchess soon fills up her guest rooms with the Bingleys, the Hursts ,and Mr. Darcy, and his ward and younger sibling Georgiana. Her guests, the Bennets, Mr. Collins, and the newly arrived militia all combine for matchmaking, madness, and matrimony in this Pride and Prejudice variation.

The reader has a unique voice, so I would suggest a sample reading before you purchase. She does a good interpretation for each character.
Interesting twist on an old favorite

As for the narration, I had to speed it up to 1.5x to make for a more palatable listen. I thought the narrator did a pretty good impression of how the Mrs. Bennet and Lydia characters were portrayed in the 1995 film series adaptation. The rest of the characters in general are read with what might be called ‘theater kid energy’ (lots of enthusiasm and intonation). I prefer a more even tones, so not quite my cup of tea.
3.5 Rounded up

In P&P the main focus on the story is Elizabeth and Darcy. There are many other subplots but the focus is still Elizabeth. In this fanfiction, the subplots are there but the focus is on the Duchess and how she is involved with each one so Elizabeth is no longer the focus except as a subplot. It helps make all the sisters as important as Lizzy.
I enjoyed that characters that are on the inept side or minimal characters got changed up in this story. I loved that Mr. Bennet stepped up to lead his family more effectively and that Mary and Kitty have bigger roles in the book. I don't always appreciate when people marry the "wrong" person in JAFF but I rather enjoyed the alternative match-ups in this book. I love the Duchess and her ability to handle situations so well. I feel like by the end of book 2, everyone will be matched up for their happily-ever-afters and it will be thanks to the Duchess. The author creatively uses events from canon to bring about a different outcome and they work.
I listened to this audiobook and had mixed feelings about the narrator. I feel like she did a wonderful job with some of the characters. She nailed Mrs. Bennet. But I didn't love all the characterizations. I was reminded too much of Glinda the Good Witch some of the time.
Since this was part 1 of 2 there is much left to be resolved and I wonder what paths will be followed to get to the final resolve. While I would have preferred to have it all in one book I could live with this one being in two parts simply because of the place the author chose to pause the story.
Sex: no
Language: no
Violence: no
* I received a complementary audiobook and voluntarily chose to review it.
