1932: Pride and Prejudice Revisited

Written by Karen M Cox

Narrated by Elizabeth Grace

“…do anything rather than marry without affection.”

—Pride and Prejudice

During the upheaval of the Great Depression, Elizabeth Bennet’s life is torn asunder. Her family’s relocation from the bustle of the big city to a quiet family farm has changed her future, and now, she must build a new life in rural Meryton, Kentucky.

William Darcy suffered family turmoil of his own, but he has settled into a peaceful life at Pemberley, the largest farm in the county. Single, rich, and seemingly content, he remains aloof—immune to any woman’s charms.

Until Elizabeth Bennet moves to town.

As Darcy begins to yearn for something he knows is missing, Elizabeth’s circumstances become more dire. Can the two put aside their pride and prejudices long enough to find their way to each other?

1932, Karen M Cox’s award-winning debut novel, is a matchless variation on Jane Austen’s classic tale.

Reviews for 1932

[Michelle Manson · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I was really enjoying this book until Elizabeth and Darcy got married. Then I eventually stopped listening. I prefer books that mostly keep the bedroom door closed. I didn't mind hearing about the wedding night but this was followed by description after description of their sexual encounters. I listen while doing housework and my family was in and out of the room. It was just too much.
