Can Fitzwilliam Darcy help his young cousin vindicate her father's honor?
1826, Yorkshire Wolds. In this humorous and heartfelt short novel narrated by Colonel Fitzwilliam's daughter, Sofia-Elisabete, the colonel takes her to fox hunts. A terrible accident occurs at the second hunt when the impetuous and spirited Sofia fakes a view halloo and sets the riders in the wrong direction so that she can save the fox. Lies spread, and the colonel is unjustly blamed for the tragic death that occurs. A key witness—Nimrod, the popular sports writer—has vanished. The colonel seeks Darcy's help to find this journalist.
There is no greater friendship than between loyal cousins.
Sofia hasn't seen this cousin since she was a child, but she recalls the happy Darcy's of Pemberley. Fitzwilliam Darcy at forty-two still has that certain je ne sais quoi that had captivated her as a girl. But can Darcy make things right in a world where corruption abounds and where trouble and the fantastic keep happening whenever Sofia is near? Told against the backdrop of the sporting life, from the chase to the turf, from the ring to the links, My Cousin Darcy lays bare the secrets of a flawed and sensitive hero from Jane Austens Pride and Prejudice.

My Cousin Darcy, the audiobook version, is a charming and adventurous historical fiction story where the listener is transported to 1826 Yorkshire Wolds. This story is the 4th book in its series and is told from the point of view of none other than the loveable 16-year-old Sofia-Elisabete. As this novel involves a character from the famous Jane Austin novel, fans of Pride and Prejudice will be excited about the appearance of charismatic Darcy, Sofia-Elisabete's cousin, when they are reunited to help her father, the Colonel, from being blamed for a terrible incident. Listening to the audio version of this novel presents the listener with an exciting and enhanced experience of Sofia-Elisabete's life.
The story is narrated by Lucas Keen, a male speaking with an English accent. The action scenes in the novel translate very well into the audio version, and the narrator’s tone and pace keep the listener engaged. Fox hunts, golfing, chases, and attempted rescues told in a humorous tone have the listener chuckling out loud while listening. The narrator is good at differentiating between the narration and dialogue, so the listener does not lose the train of the story. Listeners can also easily pick up on the emotions felt by the characters. The audiobook version of My Cousin Darcy does the story justice and is a perfect 4-and-a-half-hour escape into another world. I would urge audiobook lovers to give it a listen – no need to have read the previous books in the series.
Sublime Line: “The charming Sofia-Elisabete takes us through a heartwarming and humorous series of adventures in the audio version of My Cousin Darcy.”
