Product Description

Jane Austen Today, December 30th 2007

'....a fun and spirited romance... entertaining, and had me turning the page to find out how the story ends..'


Book Description

In Lydia Bennet's Story we are taken back to Jane Austen's most beloved novel, Pride and Prejudice, to a Regency world seen through Lydia's eyes where pleasure and marriage are the only pursuits. Lydia's dream of following the regiment to the fashionable resort of Brighton comes true, she is soon the darling of all the officers and tempted not only by a handsome royal dragoon, but drawn to the irresistible charms of one already well known to her. But the road to matrimony is fraught with difficulties and even when she is convinced that she has met the man of her dreams, she quickly discovers that her hero is not the man she believes him to be. Before long his reputation has her running back to Hertfordshire to be reunited with Bennets, Bingleys and Darcys, meeting once again for a grand ball at Netherfield Park. Will she resolve her problems to find happiness or will the shocking truth about her husband cause the greatest scandal of all?

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, 8 Jan 2008
By M. T. Obrien - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Excellent book. Took it on holiday for the duration. Lasted one day. Could not put it down. Lydia'story fills in the gaps and yearning to the many references to her. The descriptive writing made me feel as if I was actually there. The attention to detail meticulous. Well writen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant for chasing the blues away!, 7 Jan 2008
By J. Murison (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Being an avid reader yet reluctant writer I have not submitted a book review before, but 'Lydia Bennett's Story' has shaken me out of my complacency - what a great read - brilliant for chasing the blues away! A friend introduced me to this book and, although a great fan of Jane Austen's work, I've never read a sequel before. I loved this book from its first page - Ms Odiwe's writing is so descriptive - it sends you back to the Regency World in all its sensuous detail (surely the result of many hours of meticulous research). The story fairly romps along and the clever device of interweaving the narrative with extracts from Lydia's diary gives fascinating insights into her character. If you are looking for a novel to lose yourself in I cannot recommend this book highly enough! I'm left with a quandary though - now I have a taste for Austen sequels will other writers live up to Jane Odiwe's penmanship? The only answer is to chain Ms Odiwe to her desk until she produces another - the sooner the better!

4.0 out of 5 stars Thumbs up , 1 Jan 2008
By Mrs. Nikki Milne - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I only got this book at Christmas and read it within two days as I could not but it down! I have read many Pride & Prejudice remakes this it certainly one of the best as very original portraying Lydia Bennet's portion of the story. Jane Odiwe did not make the mistake of changing the original Master peace just centring this book on Lydia's description of the events which take place in Pride & Prejudice. My only feeling is that Jane Odiwe makes Lydia out to be a `victim' due to the evil George Wickham, and sees the error of her ways in order for there to be a happy ending!

Definitely one to read!
