April 1812 - On being alerted of Jane Bennet's persistent melancholy by her sister Madeline Gardiner, Mrs Bennet travels to London in order to bring some cheer to her daughter. Once there, she overhears a conversation between her two elder daughters and becomes aware of Caroline Bingley's perfidy in keeping the truth of Jane's visit to their home from her brother.
Determined to set matters to right, Mrs Bennet immediately undertakes a visit to the Bingleys. In her eagerness to bring about a meeting between the separated lovers, she is careless of her surroundings and suffers an accident. Unfortunately, she does not survive the accident and passes on from the mortal world...or does she? What if she needs help to truly pass on to the other world? Help of the cold and arrogant Mr Fitzwilliam Darcy. Will he agree to help and what happens if he does decide to do so?

The story of the author S. Neha was very well written. From the title one could guess that the story is rather sad, but fortunately that is not the case. I found the story beautiful and heartwarming and there were really funny moments between Mrs Bennet and Darcy (especially each time when she suddenly speaks with him and he is nearly frightened to death). The story is definitely one of the stories that left me with a warm feeling inside and the knowledge that I have listened to a great audiobook.
I really like Darcy and Mrs Bennet in this version. Darcy was very kind and approachable. He was very much focused on Elizabeth, ensuring her well being and trying to make the time of loss as less painful for her as possible.
Mrs Bennet on her part was a charming ghost. Normally I am annoyed with her and I feel for her family members, especially Elizabeth. But in this version her only and last aim is to ensure the wellbeing of her daughters and she tries to accomplish it in a loving way. I like her interactions with Darcy and she has so many witty phrases. I needed to laugh out loud so many times because of what she had done or said.
The story also contains some excitement, when Wickham shows up you can be sure that he doesn't have good things in mind. But I like that he is quickly dealt with and that one can go back to lovelier topics.
The book was narrated by the excellent Harry Frost. He is definitely one of my favourite narrators I like his way to give every person a special voice and that I am, at every part of the story, able to recognise the speaking person without knowing his/her name because of this ability. I always like his voice of Lady Catherine (I can laugh out loud every time - she is soooo great). But the aggitated Mrs Bennet in here was also great. I like that he voices the emotions, the crying of Mrs Bennet's daughters, Darcy's confusion and so much more. I'm certain that the funny parts of the book were even better through his narration. I also had the feeling like sitting next to the heroes and living through the story with them.
If you like Mrs Bennet and Darcy working together to achieve Mrs Bennet's greatest aim - securing the wellbeing of her daughters - and by this also Darcy's wellbeing, you should definitely listen to this lovely story.
I highly recommend it.
