Her last words

When Mrs Bennet tries to help her daughter Jane finally to meet with Mr Bingley in London she becomes a victim of an accident. Sadly she doesn't survive, but her soul is not ready to already depart, thus she must stay as a ghost. The only one she is able to communicate with is Fitzwilliam Darcy, the haughty friend of Mr Bingley. Will he help her to accomplish her last task - secure the wellbeing of her daughters? Or will he decline because staying in Elizabeth's proximity again is too hurtful for the gentleman from Derbyshire?

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.
