Publisher's Summary:
In this humorous re-imagining of Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice, Elizabeth Bennet's pet cat causes an unfortunate accident to befall the haughty Mr. Darcy, forcing the injured gentleman to reluctantly take up residence at Longbourn - more specifically, in the parlor of Longbourn!
In pain, forbidden to leave by his doctors, Mr. Darcy cannot escape the ridiculous antics of the Bennet clan. And when Georgiana Darcy, Colonel Fitzwilliam, and Lady Catherine de Bourgh arrive to visit the invalid, chaos, confusion, and hilarity ensue!
Inspired by the classics of comedy, author Jack Caldwell transforms Austen's beloved novel into a tour de force of farce. The Regency will never be the same!

Any additional comments?
I almost didn't buy it based on the reviews. Just shows there's no accounting for taste. I'm pretty sure that her pronunciations are English. Kinda ok as it is based in England. Don't take the story too seriously, either. It is a farce!!
Wonderful

Very enjoyable
Any additional comments?
A lovely book, half farce, half touching family relationship story. It turned out, that what the Bennet family needed was a dose of Mr. Darcy and Georgiana. Elizabeth was as stubborn and jumping to conclusions as ever, but with her father's help ODC learned their lesson. And I really enjoyed Caroline's HEA, and villains' punishment.
Interesting view
This story was very fun, and had a new story element I've never seen in a P&P variation before--the author had the Bennet family actually like Darcy before Elizabeth! Overall, it was well written and developed, and my only complaint is that there are far too few scenes
between Elizabeth and Darcy. Her change of heart has more to do with reports of how he treats her family and staff, rather than personal observation. There are some paragraphs that mention they spend the evening playing games and having lively discussions, but, unfortunately, we don't get any more details. A nice story for all the side characters--just wish it had a little more interaction between the main characters!
Fun Silly and entertaining.
A very pleasant lighthearted retelling.
